Question 9 (12 marks):
(a) Diagram 9.1 shows point P (5, 1) on a Cartesian plane.

Diagram 9.1

Transformation T is a translation  (  4 3 )
Transformation S is an enlargement about the centre (–5, 2) with a scale factor 2.
State the coordinates of the image of point P under the following transformations:
(i) T2,
(ii) TS.


(b) Diagram  9.2 shows geometrical shapes KLMNP, KSRQP and KTUVW drawn on a Cartesian plane.

Diagram 9.2

(i)
KTUVW is the image of KLMNP under the combined transformation YZ.
Describe, in full, the transformation:
(a) Z,
(b) Y.

(ii) It is given that KSRQP represents a region of area 30 m2.
Calculate the area, in m2, of the shaded region.


Solution:
(a)


(i)
TT = P(–3, 3) → T1 → P’(1, 0) ) → T2 → P’’(5, –3)
(ii) TS =  P (–3, 3) → S → P’(–1, 4) → T → P’’(3, 1)


(b)(i)(a)
Z: Reflection in the line x = 0.

(b)(i)(b)
Y: Enlargement with the centre at (0, 0) and a scale factor of 2.

(b)(ii)
Area of KTUVW = (Scale factor)2 × Area of object
= 22 × 30
= 120 m2

Hence,
Area of shaded region
= Area KTUVW – Area KSRQP
= 120 – 30
= 90 m2

(c)
Distance of G to H
= (20o + 120o) × 60’ × cos 70o
= 140o × 60’ × cos 70o
= 2872.97 nautical miles

(d)

Average speed= Total distance travelled Total time taken 800= x 5.25 x=4200 nautical miles I to P=4200 Difference between parallel=y y×60=4200 y= 70 o Thus, latitude of P = 70 o 50 o = 20 o S
