Its height, H metres, was measured t years after planting.

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA

Exactly 3 years after planting, the height of the tree was 2.35 metres.
Exactly 6 years after planting, the height of the tree was 3.28 metres.
Using a linear model,
(a) find an equation linking H with t.
(3)
The height of the tree was approximately 140 cm when it was planted.
(b) Explain whether or not this fact supports the use of the linear model in part (a).

Figure 3

Figure 3 shows the design for a sign at a bird sanctuary.

The design consists of a kite OABC joined to a sector OCXA of a circle centre O.
In the design
• OA = OC = 0.6 m
• AB = CB = 1.4 m
• Angle OAB = Angle OCB = 2 radians
• Angle AOC = θ radians, as shown in Figure 3
Making your method clear,

(a) show that θ = 1.64 radians to 3 significant figures,

(4)
(b) find the perimeter of the sign, in metres to 2 significant figures,
(2)

(c) find the area of the sign, in m2 to 2 significant figures.
