An equation of a line is any equation whose graph forms a straight line. These equations can be written in the form y = mx + c.

Maths

In this unit, pupils built upon their prior learning of the area of different shapes. In the future unit, pupils will continue to further develop their understanding of shapes by considering surface area and volume of pyramids, spheres and cones.

In the prior unit, pupils derived the formula for the circumference and area of a circle. In this unit, this knowledge is combined with knowledge of fractions to find the arc length and area of a sector.

To find the length of the line segment CD you need to use {{}} theorem.

The perimeter of trapezium ABCD is {{ }} units (to 1 decimal place).

The area of triangle QPR is {{ }} units².

Calculate the area of the triangle bound by the three straight lines with equations:
$$y=2$$, 
$$y=x$$, 
$$x+y=12$$.
The area is {{ }} units².

Choose the pair of coordinates that is the midpoint of the line segment AB.

The pair of coordinates that is the midpoint of the line segment CD are {{ }}.

Which of these calculations finds the gradient of the line segment AB?

The gradient of the line segment CD is {{ }} to 3 decimal places.

The length of the hypotenuse of this triangle is {{ }} cm to 2 decimal places.
