Worked solution

4(a)

1. Set up an equation using the given length of $OA$.

Using the distance formula for O(0,0)O(0,0) and A(−2k,3k)A(-2k, 3k):
OA2=(−2k−0)2+(3k−0)2OA^2 = (-2k - 0)^2 + (3k - 0)^2
(−2k)2+(3k)2=(117)2(-2k)^2 + (3k)^2 = (\sqrt{117})^2
4k2+9k2=1174k^2 + 9k^2 = 117
13k2=11713k^2 = 117

2. Solve for $k$ and find the coordinates of $A$.

k2=11713=9k^2 = \frac{117}{13} = 9
Since k>0k > 0, k=3k = 3.
Substitute k=3k = 3 into the coordinates of AA:
A=(−2(3),3(3))=(−6,9)A = (-2(3), 3(3)) = (-6, 9) (shown)

Answer

k=3k = 3

4(b)

1. Find the gradient of the line segment $OA$.

Gradient of OA=9−0−6−0=−32OA = \frac{9 - 0}{-6 - 0} = -\frac{3}{2}

2. Find the gradient of $AB$ using the perpendicularity condition.

Since ∠OAB=90∘\angle OAB = 90^\circ, OA⊥ABOA \perp AB.
Gradient of AB=−1Gradient of OA=23AB = -\frac{1}{\text{Gradient of } OA} = \frac{2}{3}

3. Find the equation of the line $AB$.

Using point A(−6,9)A(-6, 9) and gradient 23\frac{2}{3}:
y−9=23(x−(−6))y - 9 = \frac{2}{3}(x - (-6))
y−9=23(x+6)y - 9 = \frac{2}{3}(x + 6)
y−9=23x+4y - 9 = \frac{2}{3}x + 4
y=23x+13y = \frac{2}{3}x + 13

Answer

y=23x+13y = \frac{2}{3}x + 13

4(c)

1. Find the coordinates of $B$ using the equation of $AB$ from part (b)

From part (a), AA is (−6,9)(-6, 9).
Gradient of OA=9−0−6−0=−32OA = \frac{9 - 0}{-6 - 0} = -\frac{3}{2}.
Since OABOAB is a right angle, AB⊥OAAB \perp OA, so gradient of AB=23AB = \frac{2}{3}.
Equation of ABAB: y−9=23(x−(−6))  ⟹  y=23x+13y - 9 = \frac{2}{3}(x - (-6)) \implies y = \frac{2}{3}x + 13.
Since BB lies on the yy-axis, its xx-coordinate is 00, so BB is (0,13)(0, 13).

2. Determine the vector $\vec{AB}$

AB⃗=(0−(−6)13−9)=(64)\vec{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 - (-6) \\ 13 - 9 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}

3. Use the parallel property and length ratio to find the coordinates of $C$

Since OABCOABC is a trapezium with OC∥ABOC \parallel AB and CC is in the first quadrant, OC⃗\vec{OC} is in the same direction as AB⃗\vec{AB}.
Given OC=12ABOC = \frac{1}{2}AB, we have:
OC⃗=12AB⃗=12(64)=(32)\vec{OC} = \frac{1}{2}\vec{AB} = \frac{1}{2}\begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}
Since OO is the origin (0,0)(0,0), the coordinates of CC are (3,2)(3, 2).

Answer

(3,2)(3, 2)

4(d)

1. State the coordinates of the vertices of the trapezium in order

From earlier parts, the coordinates are O(0,0)O(0, 0), C(3,2)C(3, 2), B(0,13)B(0, 13), and A(−6,9)A(-6, 9).
Arranging them in an anti-clockwise direction: O→C→B→A→OO \rightarrow C \rightarrow B \rightarrow A \rightarrow O.

2. Apply the shoelace formula to calculate the area

Area=12∣030−60021390∣=12∣(0)(2)+(3)(13)+(0)(9)+(−6)(0)−(0)(3)−(2)(0)−(13)(−6)−(9)(0)∣=12∣0+39+0+0−0−0+78−0∣=12(117)=58.5\begin{aligned} \text{Area} &= \frac{1}{2} \left| \begin{matrix} 0 & 3 & 0 & -6 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 13 & 9 & 0 \end{matrix} \right| \\ &= \frac{1}{2} | (0)(2) + (3)(13) + (0)(9) + (-6)(0) - (0)(3) - (2)(0) - (13)(-6) - (9)(0) | \\ &= \frac{1}{2} | 0 + 39 + 0 + 0 - 0 - 0 + 78 - 0 | \\ &= \frac{1}{2} (117) \\ &= 58.5 \end{aligned}

4(e)

1. Explain why OB is the diameter using circle properties

It is given that ∠OAB=90∘\angle OAB = 90^\circ. Since triangle OABOAB lies in the circle, the angle subtended by the chord OBOB at the circumference is 90∘90^\circ. By the converse of the angle in a semicircle theorem, OBOB must be the diameter of the circle.

Answer

Yes, OBOB is the diameter because ∠OAB=90∘\angle OAB = 90^\circ and the angle in a semicircle is a right angle.

4(f)

1. Find the coordinates of $B$ using the fact that $AB$ is perpendicular to $OA$

Gradient of OA=9−0−6−0=−32OA = \frac{9 - 0}{-6 - 0} = -\frac{3}{2}
Since ∠OAB=90∘\angle OAB = 90^\circ, gradient of AB=23AB = \frac{2}{3}.
Equation of ABAB: y−9=23(x−(−6))  ⟹  y=23x+13y - 9 = \frac{2}{3}(x - (-6)) \implies y = \frac{2}{3}x + 13
Since BB lies on the yy-axis, x=0x = 0, so y=13y = 13. Thus, BB is (0,13)(0, 13).

2. Find the center and radius of the circle

Since ∠OAB=90∘\angle OAB = 90^\circ, OBOB is the diameter of the circle.
Center of circle = midpoint of OB=(0+02,0+132)=(0,6.5)OB = \left(\frac{0+0}{2}, \frac{0+13}{2}\right) = (0, 6.5)
Radius = 132=6.5\frac{13}{2} = 6.5

3. Form the equation of the circle

Equation of circle: (x−0)2+(y−6.5)2=6.52(x - 0)^2 + (y - 6.5)^2 = 6.5^2
x2+y2−13y+42.25=42.25x^2 + y^2 - 13y + 42.25 = 42.25
x2+y2−13y=0x^2 + y^2 - 13y = 0

Answer

x2+y2−13y=0x^2 + y^2 - 13y = 0
