2 0607/62/O/N/16 © UCLES 2016 Answer both parts A and B. A INVESTIGATION RECTANGLES WITHIN RECTANGLES (20 marks) You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part. This investigation looks for a method to find the number of rectangles when you draw horizontal and vertical lines inside a rectangle. One horizontal line, AB, is drawn inside a rectangle PQRS. The total number of rectangles is 3. They are PQBA, PQRS and ABRS. P A S Q B R 1 (a) Another line CD is drawn inside the rectangle PQRS. The total number of rectangles is now 6. P A C S Q B D R Three of the 6 rectangles are PQBA, PQRS and ABRS. Write down the other three rectangles. …
