- 4Square has an area formed by sides of length cm, and is enlarged by scale factor , centre a fixed point, to form square . Separately, and , and two canoeists paddle away from the same jetty: the first on a bearing of , the second on a bearing of .(a)(a) Calculate the area of square , and state the ratio of the area of to the area of in its simplest form.[4 marks](b)(b) Point has position vector relative to the origin, and point has position vector . Find in column vector form, and calculate its magnitude, correct to 1 decimal place.[4 marks](c)(c) Calculate the angle between the two canoeists' paths, measured at the jetty. Then find the bearing the first canoeist would need to paddle on to return directly to the jetty from her current position.[5 marks]

- 8A regular hexagon and a regular pentagon are placed so that one side of the hexagon coincides exactly with one side of the pentagon. Both shapes have side length cm. (The area of a regular hexagon with side is .)(a)(a) Calculate the interior angle of a regular hexagon and the interior angle of a regular pentagon. Hence find the size of the combined angle formed at a point where one vertex of each shape meets (the two interior angles added together).[4 marks](b)(b) Calculate the perimeter of the pentagon, and calculate the area of the regular hexagon, correct to 1 decimal place.[4 marks](c)(c) The hexagon is enlarged by scale factor , centre a fixed point, to form a smaller hexagon. Calculate the area of the smaller hexagon, correct to 1 decimal place. Then calculate the scale factor that would be needed to enlarge the ORIGINAL hexagon so that its area becomes exactly double, correct to 3 significant figures.[5 marks]
