Page 6: Question 4 - Angle Measurement and Safety

This question presents a diagram of a ladder leaning against a wall and asks students to determine if the ladder is safe based on the angle at its base. Students must:

  • Measure the angle at the base of the ladder
  • Compare it to the safe range of 72° to 78°
  • Explain their answer

Vocabulary: The base angle of a ladder is the angle formed between the ladder and the ground.

Highlight: This question combines practical knowledge with geometry skills.

Page 7: Question 5 - Billing and Discounts

This question has two parts related to a plumber's charges:

a) Determine which calculation for a 4-hour job is correct:

  • Tom's method: 25 + 15 × 4 = £160
  • Jane's method: (25 + 15) × 4 = £85 Students must explain the correct answer.

b) Calculate the savings on a £12.50 tap with a 10% discount

Example: When calculating discounts, multiply the original price by the discount percentage to find the amount saved.
