SECTION A

MODULE 1 — GEOMETRY 1

Answer ALL questions from this section.

1. Figure 1 shows the framework for a point, P, which moves so that its distance from the circumference
of two circles as well as from their centres O1 and O2 is always in the ratio 2:3. The radii of the
two circles are 20 mm and 15 mm respectively.

Figure 1

(a) Plot the locus of the point P. [5 marks]

(b) State the name of the locus. [1 mark]

(c) Sketch, freehand, an ellipse with minor and major axes of 50 mm and 100 mm respectively.

On the sketch, label the following elliptical terms:

(i) Chord

(ii) Ordinate [3 marks]

4. Figure 5 illustrates a problem with two cranks.

Figure 5

Use the following information to construct the locus of the point O when the crank, CD, makes
one complete revolution.

• When there are two cranks of the same size rotating, they can both make a complete revolution.

• When there are two cranks of different sizes rotating, only the small crank can make a complete
revolution. The larger crank reciprocates and it is constrained.
