508 36 Prisms and cylinders 36.1 Metric units for area and volume ● I can convert from one metric unit to another You need to know the metric units for area, volume and capacity. They are listed in the table, which also gives the conversions between these units. Area Volume Capacity 10000m2 = 1 hectare (ha) 10000cm2 = 1m2 1m2 = 1000000mm2 100mm2 = 1cm2 1000000cm3 = 1m3 1000mm3 = 1cm3 1m3 = 1000 litres (l) 1000cm3 = 1 litre 1cm3 = 1 millilitre (ml) 10 millilitres = 1 centilitre (cl) 1000 millilitres = 100 centilitres = 1 litre The unit symbol for litres is the letter l, which is often written as l, as shown in the table. To avoid confusion with the digit 1 (one), it is also common to use the full unit name instead of the symbol. Remember: • to convert large units to smaller units, always multiply by the conversion factor • to convert small units to larger units, always divide by the conversion factor. Develop fluency Convert each of these units as indicated. a 72000cm2 to m2 b 0.3cm3 to mm3 c 4500cm3 to litres a Hint: You are converting smaller units to larger units, so divide by the conversion factor 10000. 72000cm2 = 72000 ÷ 10000 = 7.2m2 b You are converting larger units to smaller units, so multiply by the conversion factor 1000. 0.3cm3 = 0.3 × 1000 = 300mm3 c You are converting smaller units to larger units, so divide by the conversion factor 1000. 4 500cm3 = 4500 ÷ 1000 = 4.5 litres 1 Express each of these in square centimetres (cm2 ). a 4m2 b 7m2 c 20m2 d 3.5m2 e 0.8m2 f 540mm2 g 60mm2 2 Express each of these in square millimetres (mm2 ). a 2cm2 b 5cm2 c 8.5cm2 d 36cm2 e 0.4cm2 © HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd 2019.

The annual maintenance costs for the pitch are £1000/hectare. a Work out its area in: i square metres ii hectares. b Work out the annual cost of maintaining the pitch. 36.2 Volume of a prism ● I can calculate the volume of a prism A prism is a three-dimensional (3D) shape that has exactly the same two-dimensional (2D) shape running all the way through it, whenever it is cut across, perpendicular to its length. This 2D shape is called the cross-section of the prism. The shape of the cross-section depends on the type of prism, but it is always the same for a particular prism. You can work out the volume, V, of a prism by multiplying the area, A, of its cross-section by the length, l, of the prism or its height, h, if it stands on one end. © HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd 2019.

527 37 Compound units 37.1 Speed ● I can understand and use measures of speed Jasmine is taking part in a race. She is running at a constant speed. She runs 100 metres in 20 seconds. A formula for working out speed is: speed = distance travelled time taken or distance time Jasmine’s speed is 100 20 = 5 metres per second. The units are metres per second (m/s) because the distance is in metres and the time is in seconds. This is an example of a compound unit that involves other units: in this case, metres and seconds. The units of speed depend on the units used to measure the distance and the time. Develop fluency a A car travels 45 km in 30 minutes. Work out its speed. Include units in your answer. b A car is travelling at a constant speed of 30 m/s. How far does the car travel in one minute? a Speed = distance time = 45 30 = 1.5 km/minute The units are km/minute because the time is in minutes. An alternative answer is 45 0.5 = 90 km/h since 30 minutes = 0.5 hours. b speed = distance time In this case the speed is 30 m/s and the time is 60 s. 30 = d 60 The time must be in seconds. Use d for distance. 30 × 60 = d Multiply by 60 to solve the equation. d = 1800 The distance is 1800 m or 1.8 km. You must include the units. 1 A marathon runner runs 40 km in 2 1 2 hours. Work out his speed, in kilometres per hour (km/h). 2 A train is travelling at a constant speed.

Charlie meets a friend on the way to the park. a Which line represents Kate’s journey? Which line represents Charlie’s journey? b Who lives the closest to the park? How much closer? c Who walks at a faster pace? Give a reason for your answer. d Charlie says his average speed is about 1.87 km/h.

531 37.2 15 Some friends took part in a K1 kayak slalom competition. Over the 1 km course, there were 12 down gates and 6 up gates. It is reckoned that every down gate adds 1 second to a competitor’s time and each up gate adds 3 seconds. Any missed gate adds a 15 second time penalty. a Lucy gets through every gate successfully and finishes in 2 minutes 30 seconds. What was her average speed? b Gemma’s usual average speed without any gates is 33 km/h. Adding extra time for the gates, how long did she take if she got through every gate successfully? c Sarah paddles at an average 36 km/h but misses one gate. In what order did these three girls finish? 16 The speed of sound is 340m/s. There is an explosion 2km away from Sam.

Another example of a compound unit is density. This is calculated as ‘mass per unit volume’: density = mass volume Examples of possible units are: • grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³) • grams per litre (g/litre). If you compare equal volumes of different substances, the denser one will be heavier. 42 cm © HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd 2019.

In 5 minutes, 24 litres flow out of the tap. a Work out the rate of flow, in litres per minute. b How long does it take to fill a 7.5 litre bucket? a The rate of flow is measured as litres minutes . This is the number of litres ÷ number of minutes and the unit is litres/minute. Rate of flow = 24 5 = 4.8 litres/minute. b 4.8 = 7.5 m Call the number of minutes m. 4.8m = 7.5 Multiply by m. m = 7.5 4.8 = 1.5625 Divide by 4.8. It takes 1.56 minutes. Round the answer.

538 38 Solving equations graphically 38.1 Graphs from equations of the form ay ± bx = c ● I can draw any linear graph from any linear equation ● I can solve a linear equation from a graph You have already met the linear equation y = mx + c, which generates a straight-line graph. It is this equation that is seen here as ay ± bx = c. When its graph is plotted it will, of course, still produce a straight line. To construct the graph of ay ± bx = c, follow these steps: • Substitute x = 0 into the equation so that it becomes ay = c. • Solve for y, i.e. y = c a so that one point on the graph is 0, c a . • Substitute y = 0 into the equation so that it becomes bx = c. • Solve for x, i.e. x = c b , so that one point on the graph is c b , 0 . • Plot the two points on the axes and join them up. Develop fluency Draw the graph of 4y – 5x = 20. Substitute x = 0: 4y = 20 y = 5 The graph passes through (0, 5). Substitute y = 0: –5x = 20 x = –4 The graph passes through (–4, 0). Plot the points and join them up. Note that this method is sometimes called the ‘cover-up’ method as all you have to do to solve x or y is cover up the other term. 6 4 2 0 –2 –4 –1 2 3 x y –5 –4 –3 –2 0 1 1 Draw the graph for each equation.

Use your graph to find the value of p. Reason mathematically Vicky says that the graph shown has the equation 3x + 4y = 12. Is she correct? Explain your answer. Find the x and y intercept of 3x + 4y = 12. When y = 0, 3x = 12 so x = 4. When x = 0, 4y = 12 so y = 3. Vicky is incorrect as the line intercepts the axes at x = 3 and y = 4. –1 0 1 2 3 4 –4 –3 –2 –1 –5 5 –4 –3 –2 1 2 3 4 x y © HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd 2019.

548 Chapter 38 38.3 Solving quadratic equations by drawing graphs ● I can solve a quadratic equation by drawing a graph You can find out a lot of information from a quadratic graph, when you know how to do it. Develop fluency a Draw the graph of y = x2 + 4x – 5. b Use your graph to find the value of y when x = –3.5. c Find the solution to the equation x2 + 4x – 5 = 3.2. d What are the solutions to the equation x2 + 4x – 5 = 0? a Draw the graph, as shown. b Draw a dotted line from x = –3.5 to the graph. Following this across to the y-axis, you can see that when x = –3.5, y = –6.75. c To find the solution of the equation x2 + 4x – 5 = 3.2, draw a dotted line across the graph of y = x2 + 4x – 5 where y = 3.2. The dotted line for y = 3.2 cuts the graph in two places. So there are two solutions to this equation. Drawing dotted lines down from the graph to the x-axis, you can see that the solutions are x = –5.5 and x = 1.5. d You can find the solution of the equation x2 + 4x – 5 = 0 on the graph where y = 0.
