One day he makes the following shape using four bricks: If you look at this three-dimensional object from the three different directions indicated above, the shape looks like: The next day Joshua makes a different shape using six bricks: Draw the three views of this new shape below. The diagrams do not have to be to scale. A rough free-hand sketch is all that is required. 26. The timetable below shows the morning train times between St Albans and City Thameslink via St Pancras International. St Albans 0658 0708 0728 0722 0738 0744 0800 Radlett 0727 0749 Elstree 0731 0754 West Hampstead 0710 0745 0803 St Pancras 0717 0728 0748 0756 0800 0812 0820 Farringdon 0722 0732 0752 0800 0804 0816 0824 City 0727 0735 0755 0803 0809 0819 0827 At what time does the 0731 train from Elstree get to Farringdon? How many minutes does the 0727 train take to travel from Radlett to City? How many minutes longer does it take to travel from St Albans to West Hampstead on the 0722 train compared to the 0658? What is the time of the latest train that someone could catch from St Albans in order to arrive at City no later than eight o’clock? Roweena lives in St Albans and needs to arrive at St Pancras inorder to catch the 0855 train to Paris. There is a 30 minute check-inat St Pancras International station and she allows herself an extra 10minutes to change platforms. Roweena knows that it takes her 25 minutes to walk from her house to get to the platform at St Albans station. What is the latest time that she needs to leave her house? 27. Look carefully at the following calculations: \[8^{2}\] - \[3^{2}\] =64 - 9 = 55 (8 + 3) x (8 - 3) = 11 x 5 = 55 Work out, in the same way: \[9^{2}\] - \[5^{2}\] = - = (9 + 5) x (9 - 5) = x = What do you notice about these pairs of answers? This pattern can be used to work out some harder calculations. For example, the difficult sum, \[68^{2}\] - \[32^{2}\] can easily be worked out to be: (68 + 32) x (68 - 32) = 100 x 36 = 3600 Use this method to work out: \[552^{2}\] - \[448^{2}\] = = = \[8.5^{2}\] - \[7.5^{2}\] = = = \[\left(\frac{19}{37}\right)^{2}\] - \[\left(\frac{18}{37}\right)^{2}\]= = = \[25001^{2}\] - \[24999^{2}\] = = 28. The diagram below shows the roads connecting eight villages. The numbers next to each road (not drawn to scale) show the distances in miles for each stretch of road. Isobel travels from S to T on her journey to work each day. Find the shortest distance from S to T and state the route taken:Shortest distance Route: From S to to T Isobel cycles at a steady speed of 15 miles per hour. Find the shortest time to complete the journey. Give your answer in minutes. Isobel listens to the local radio before setting off on her journey one morning. She discovers that the road between E and F is completely blocked due to an earlier accident and she is forced to choose an alternative route to work. What is the least number of additional minutes that she will take to cycle to work today? 29. A person’s Body Mass Index (BMI) is worked out by dividing their weight (in kilograms) by the square of their height (in metres). A person is then classified as “underweight”, “normal”, “overweight” or “obese” according to the following table: BMI Classification 18.5 or less Underweight Between 18.6 and 24.9 Normal Between 25.0 and 29.9 Overweight 30.0 or more Obese For example, Jill weighs 72 kg and is 1.82 m tall. Her body mass index is worked out as follows: BMI = \[\frac{72}{1.82^{2}}\] = 21.7 which is between 18.6 and 24.9 so Jill is “normal”. At the bottom of this page you will find the results of lots of calculations, some of which are relevant to the questions below. The one that has been circled was used to find Jill’s BMI. If Jack weighs 84 kg and is 1.71 m tall, calculate his BMI. State whether Jack is underweight, normal, overweight or obese. If Jon weighs 27300 grams and is 98 cm tall, calculate his BMI. Jeremiah is 2.1 m tall and is obese. What is the lowest weight that he could be? Josephine currently weighs 53 kg. She has a BMI of 16 so is currently classified as underweight. What is the least extra weight that she needs to put on if she is to be re-classified as normal? 30. Four friends, Archibald, Bertram, Camilla and Daphne go on holiday together on the French Riviera. On the first evening at the hotel they sit down to dinner at a square table shown below. Archibald insists that he sits facing South so that he can have a clear view of the Mediterranean Sea, whilst Bertram and Camilla decide to sit next to each other. Show the four possible seating arrangements on the diagrams below. The first one has been done for you. On the second day of the holiday, Archibald relents and graciously allows anyone (including himself) to face the sea, although Bertram and Camilla still choose to sit next to each other. How many possible arrangements are there now? On the last day of the holiday, all four friends decide that they can sit where they like. How many possible arrangements are there now? Time is Up!
