Additional Materials: Electronic calculator Geometrical instruments Mathematical tables (optional) Tracing paper (optional) READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your Centre number, candidate number and name on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all questions. If working is needed for any question it must be shown below that question. Electronic calculators should be used. If the degree of accuracy is not specified in the question, and if the answer is not exact, give the answer to three significant figures. Give answers in degrees to one decimal place For π , use either your calculator value or 3.142. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. The total of the marks for this paper is 104. www.XtremePapers.com

On the scale drawing, 1 centimetre represents 200 metres. (a) A new post office in the town is to be built so that it is 800 m from T and equidistant from P and from Q. (i) On the scale drawing, draw the locus of points which are 800 m from T. [1] (ii) On the scale drawing, using a straight edge and compasses only, construct the locus of points which are equidistant from P and from Q. [2] (iii) Label the position of the new post office R. [1] (iv) Find the actual distance between post offices P and R. Answer(a)(iv) m [2] (b) On the scale drawing, draw straight lines to make triangle PQT. Using a straight edge and compasses only, construct the locus of points which are equidistant from PT and from QT. [2] (c) On the scale drawing, shade the region inside triangle PQT, where points are nearer to Q than to P and nearer to PT than to QT. [2] Question 10 is printed on the next page.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2007 question paper 0580 and 0581 MATHEMATICS 0580/03 and 0581/03 Paper 3 (Core), maximum raw mark 104 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. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination. • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2007 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.XtremePapers.com
