Mensuration And Calculation
Overzicht
This is the topic where knowing which formula to recall is worth as much as using it. There is no formulae sheet in any 9260 paper: the front cover lists a calculator and mathematical instruments and nothing else. Appendix 6.1 of the specification names the formulae you must carry in your head, and several of them live here: the circumference and area of a circle, Pythagoras, the three trigonometric ratios, the sine rule, the cosine rule, the area of a triangle as half ab sin C, the area of a trapezium and the volume of a prism.
You will use standard units of measure and change freely between them, including the compound units of speed and density; apply formulae for the area of triangles, parallelograms and trapezia and for the volume of a solid with a constant cross sectional area; work with the circumference and area of a circle and with composite shapes; and use Pythagoras and the trigonometric ratios in right-angled triangles in two-dimensional figures. On the Extension Tier you add surface area and volume of spheres, pyramids, cones, composite solids and frustums, the relationships between lengths, areas and volumes in similar figures, arc lengths and sectors, trigonometry in three dimensional figures, and the sine and cosine rules.
Doelstellingen
- [Core] use standard units of measure and related concepts (length, area, volume/capacity, mass, time, money etc); change freely between related standard units (eg time, length, area, volume/capacity, mass) and compound units (eg speed and density) (Notes: 24 and 12 hour clock for times)
- [Core] know and apply formulae to calculate: area of triangles, parallelograms, trapezia; volume of 3D shapes using V = Ah where A is the constant cross sectional area and h is the height/length
- [Core] know and use the formulae: circumference of a circle = 2πr = πd; area of a circle = πr²
- [Core] calculate perimeters and areas of 2D shapes, including composite shapes
- [Extension] surface area and volume of spheres, pyramids, cones and composite solids including composite shapes and frustums of pyramids and cones (Notes: solutions in terms of π may be asked for)
- [Extension] use the relationships between lengths, areas and volumes in similar figures
- [Extension] calculate arc lengths, angles and areas of sectors of circles
- [Core] know the formula for: Pythagoras' theorem, a² + b² = c², and the trigonometric ratios sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse, cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse and tan θ = opposite/adjacent
- [Core] apply them to find lengths and angles in right-angled triangles in two-dimensional figures
- [Extension] including 3D figures
- [Extension] know and apply the sine rule, a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C, and cosine rule, a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos A, to find unknown lengths and angles
- [Extension] know and apply Area = ½ ab sin C to calculate the area, sides or angles of any triangle
