This question considers how the assessment of the Air Quality Index (AQI) for a school depends on the method chosen by the person doing the assessing.
Air quality for a district is measured at three monitoring stations. The positions of these stations on a coordinate system with units in kilometres are A(0,5), B(8,9) and C(8,1).
A Voronoi diagram is constructed with the three stations as sites.

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of [BC].
Given that the equation of the perpendicular bisector of [AB] is y=15-2 x, find the coordinates of vertex V.
A school, S, is situated in the district at the point with coordinates (5,6).
State which station is closest to the school.
The principal of the school is concerned about the air quality in the area. Air quality is measured by the Air Quality Index (AQI). In this district, values less than 50 are taken to indicate good air quality.
The principal contacts the local environmental agency requesting an AQI value for her school. They tell her the mean AQI reading from the closest station to the school.
Write down the type of interpolation being used by the environmental agency.
The principal obtains the mean AQI value from each of the three stations.

Find the mid-point of [SB].
Show that the equation of the perpendicular bisector of [SB] is y=14-x.
Hence find aB (the area of region Q on the diagram).
The areas of regions P and R are aA=13.7 km2 and aC=6.9 km2 respectively.
Use the natural neighbour algorithm to show that an estimate for the expected AQI value at the school, W, is 94.4.
The principal is still concerned that this method is underestimating the AQI value at the school, as the school is situated close to a busy traffic intersection. She decides to take her own readings ( x ) over a period of 60 days. Her results are summarized as
The principal assumes that the daily AQI values at the school can be modelled by a normal distribution and that each value is independent of any other value.
Kailash manufactures drink containers in the shape of a cuboid. The container has a square top and a square base of length, l cm. Its height, d cm, is three times the length of the base.

Calculate the total external surface area of the container.
To reduce environmental impact, Kailash is trying to minimize the amount of material needed for the production of the 375 cm3 container.
He is willing to change the shape to a cylinder with radius r cm, and height h cm, as shown below.

The cylindrical container of drink must also hold 375 cm3.
A large water reservoir is built in the form of part of an upside-down right pyramid with a horizontal square base of length 80 metres. The point C is the centre of the square base and point V is the vertex of the pyramid.

A child's game is played by making paths in the snow. First, two circular paths are made using the same centre, O . The radius of the smaller circle is 2.8 m , and the radius of the larger circle is 4 m . Additional paths are then made from O to the outer edge of the larger circle, dividing each circle into 5 equal sectors, as shown in the following diagram.
For your calculations, ignore the widths of the paths.


Each region between paths will be coloured with environmentally friendly dye. The shaded region below will be coloured orange.
