2 © UCLES 2013 0607/06/M/J/13 For Examiner's Use Answer both parts A and B. A INVESTIGATION DIAGONALS OF RECTANGLES (20 marks) You are advised to spend 45 minutes on part A. Rectangles are drawn on a grid. The sides of each rectangle lie on gridlines and the length is greater than or equal to the width. This investigation looks for a method for calculating the number of small squares through which a diagonal passes. 1 The diagram shows a rectangle with length 5 and width 3. The diagonal crosses 4 vertical gridlines inside the rectangle. Write down (a) the number of horizontal gridlines that the diagonal crosses inside the rectangle, (b) the total number of gridlines that the diagonal crosses inside the rectangle. 2 A rectangle has length x and width y. x and y do not have a common factor. (a) Write down an expression for (i) the number of vertical gridlines that a diagonal crosses inside the rectangle, in terms of x, (ii) the number of horizontal gridlines that a diagonal crosses inside the rectangle, in terms of y, (iii) the total number of gridlines, N, which a diagonal crosses inside the rectangle, in terms of x and y. Write your answer in its simplest form. N =

(i) Write S in terms of N. S = (ii) Write S in terms of x and y. S = (c) Show that your formula for S in part (b)(ii) gives the correct value for an 8 by 5 rectangle. Use the grid to show clearly how many squares the diagonal passes through.

(a) (i) Show clearly that your formula for S does not give the correct value for a 9 by 6 rectangle. (ii) 9 and 6 have a common factor of 3. Show how you use the value of S for a 3 by 2 rectangle to calculate S for a 9 by 6 rectangle.

AB = 500 metres and BC = 300 metres. Engineers want to drill a tunnel from A to C. The tunnel has one or more straight sections. 1 Calculate the length of the shortest possible tunnel from A to C. Give your answer correct to the nearest metre. m 2 Write down the length of the tunnel if the engineers drill through as little hard rock as possible. m 3 P is a point which is x metres south of B. The engineers decide to drill from A to P to C. Through normal rock, from A to P, the drill moves forward at 2 metres per hour. Through the hard rock, from P to C, the drill moves forward at 1 metre per hour. 300 m 500 m B C A Normal rock Normal rock Hard rock NOT TO SCALE North 300 m x m 500 m B C A P Normal rock Normal rock Hard rock NOT TO SCALE North

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2013 series 0607 CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICS 0607/06 Paper 6 (Extended), maximum raw mark 40 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2013 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components. www.XtremePapers.com
