   (c) Here is a different quadrilateral. [Diagram: A quadrilateral with a horizontal top side of length $2.1\text{ m}$, a vertical right side of length $4.5\text{ m}$, and a horizontal bottom side of length $5.3\text{ m}$. Right-angle symbols are shown at the top-right and bottom-right corners. The left side is a slan...See it on the paper →

   The diagrams show a sequence of trapeziums. The $sloping$ $side$ $length$ is 1. Both parallel sides increase in length by 1 each time. This is the first trapezium in the sequence. The length of the shorter parallel side is 1. [Diagram: A trapezium on a dot grid with top side length 1, bottom side length 2, and sloping...See it on the paper →

What examiners said

In part (i), most candidates realised that they could split the shape into a rectangle and a triangle to work out the area of the trapezium. However, in many cases this was not completed successfully. A few knew the area of a trapezium formula and applied it correctly. When finding the perimeter in part (ii), most did use Pythagoras’ theorem to find the length of the fourth side, though this was n...

Most candidates correctly drew the next trapezium in the sequence. The most common error was to draw a length of 3 for the shorter parallel side, with 4 being the number of dots on that side.
