Foundation November 2017 Paper 2 Q13
13 ABCD and PQRS are rectangles.
O is the centre of both rectangles.
Not to scale
AC is a straight line passing through P, O and R.
BD is a straight line passing through Q, O and S.
PQ = 6 cm and QR = 2 cm.
The perimeter of rectangle ABCD is 40 cm.
Work out the length and width of rectangle ABCD. [3]
| Answer | Marks | Part marks and guidance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| [length =] 15 [width =] 5 | 3 | M1 for perimeter PQRS = 16 or 2 \(\times\) their length + 2 \(\times\) their width = 40 M1 for ratio length AB to BC oe = 3:1 soi or \(\dfrac{40}{\textit{their } 16}\) soi | Condone length = 5 width = 15 If answer line is blank accept 15 and 5 correctly placed on the diagram |
