    A ship's radar tracks two vessels and a rescue point using coordinate geometry.
    (a)
    A ship's radar plots two vessels at R=(2,8)R = (2, 8) and S=(10,3)S = (10, 3). Calculate the distance between the vessels, giving your answer to 1 decimal place.

  4. 4
    A city planner designs a triangular park using three coordinate points and needs to check its properties.
    (a)
    A city planner marks three park entrances at A=(0,0)A = (0, 0), B=(6,8)B = (6, 8), and C=(12,0)C = (12, 0). Calculate the lengths of all three sides of the triangle formed by these points, showing full working for each.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Using the side lengths found in part (a) (AB=10AB=10, BC=10BC=10, AC=12AC=12), state what type of triangle ABCABC is, giving a geometric reason.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    The planner wants to place a fountain at the midpoint of ACAC, where A=(0,0)A=(0,0) and C=(12,0)C=(12,0), and connect it to entrance B=(6,8)B=(6,8) with a path. Find the coordinates of the fountain, calculate the length of the path from the fountain to BB, and explain what this length represents in relation to triangle ABCABC.
