4 C North A B O NOT TO SCALE D The diagram shows a plan for a new city. It is to be built inside a circle of radius 5 km. The areas where homes can be built are shaded on the diagram. The homes must be at least 2 km from the centre of the city, O. The homes must also be at least 0.5 km from two main roads CD and AB, which are in North-South and West-East directions. (a) Using 1 cm to represent 1 km, make an accurate scale drawing showing the areas for the homes. (You do not need to shade these areas.)
