Write down the length of MD correct to five significant figures.
Find the area of ABCD.
Markscheme
\(2 \times 4 - 1 - 7 = 0\) (or equivalent) (R1)
Note: For (R1) accept substitution of \(x = 1\) or \(y = 4\) into the equation followed by a confirmation that \(y = 4\) or \(x = 1\).
(since the point satisfies the equation of the line,) A lies on \({L_1}\) (A1)
Note: Do not award (A1)(R0).
[2 marks]
\(\frac{{1 + 5}}{2}\) OR \(\frac{{4 + 12}}{2}\) seen (M1)
Note: Award (M1) for at least one correct substitution into the midpoint formula.
\((3,{\text{ }}8)\) (A1)(G2)
Notes: Accept \(x = 3,{\text{ }}y = 8\).
Award (M1)(A0) for \(\left( {\frac{{1 + 5}}{2},{\text{ }}\frac{{4 + 12}}{2}} \right)\).
Award (G1) for each correct coordinate seen without working.
[2 marks]
\(\sqrt {{{(5 - 1)}^2} + {{(12 - 4)}^2}} \) (M1)
Note: Award (M1) for a correct substitution into distance between two points formula.
\( = 8.94{\text{ }}\left( {4\sqrt 5 ,{\text{ }}\sqrt {80} ,{\text{ }}8.94427 \ldots } \right)\) (A1)(G2)
[2 marks]
gradient of \({\text{AC}} = \frac{{12 - 4}}{{5 - 1}}\) (M1)
Note: Award (M1) for correct substitution into gradient formula.
\( = 2\) (A1)
Note: Award (M1)(A1) for gradient of \({\text{AC}} = 2\) with or without working
gradient of the normal \( = - \frac{1}{2}\) (M1)
Note: Award (M1) for the negative reciprocal of their gradient of AC.
\(y - 8 = - \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)\) OR \(8 = - \frac{1}{2}(3) + c\) (M1)
Note: Award (M1) for substitution of their point and gradient into straight line formula. This (M1) can only be awarded where \( - \frac{1}{2}\) (gradient) is correctly determined as the gradient of the normal to AC.
\(2y - 16 = - (x - 3)\) OR \( - 2y + 16 = x - 3\) OR \(2y = - x + 19\) (A1)
Note: Award (A1) for correctly removing fractions, but only if their equation is equivalent to the given equation.
\(2y + x - 19 = 0\) (AG)
Note: The conclusion \(2y + x - 19 = 0\) must be seen for the (A1) to be awarded.
Where the candidate has shown the gradient of the normal to \({\text{AC}} = - 0.5\), award (M1) for \(2(8) + 3 - 19 = 0\) and (A1) for (therefore) \(2y + x - 19 = 0\).
Simply substituting \((3,{\text{ }}8)\) into the equation of \({L_2}\) with no other prior working, earns no marks.
[5 marks]
\((6,{\text{ }}6.5)\) (A1)(A1)(G2)
Note: Award (A1) for 6, (A1) for 6.5. Award a maximum of (A1)(A0) if answers are not given as a coordinate pair. Accept \(x = 6,{\text{ }}y = 6.5\).
Award (M1)(A0) for an attempt to solve the two simultaneous equations \(2y - x - 7 = 0\) and \(2y + x - 19 = 0\) algebraically, leading to at least one incorrect or missing coordinate.
[2 marks]
3.3541 (A1)
Note: Answer must be to 5 significant figures.
[1 mark]
\(2 \times \frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt {80} \times \frac{{\sqrt {45} }}{2}\) (M1)(M1)
Notes: Award (M1) for correct substitution into area of triangle formula.
If their triangle is a quarter of the rhombus then award (M1) for multiplying their triangle by 4.
If their triangle is a half of the rhombus then award (M1) for multiplying their triangle by 2.
OR
\(\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt {80} \times \sqrt {45} \) (M1)(M1)
Notes: Award (M1) for doubling MD to get the diagonal BD, (M1) for correct substitution into the area of a rhombus formula.
Award (M1)(M1) for \(\sqrt {80} \times \) their (f).
\( = 30\) (A1)(ft)(G3)
Notes: Follow through from parts (c) and (f).
\(8.94 \times 3.3541 = 29.9856 \ldots \)
