Here you go.

Basically they're asking you how far to the left would you need to walk from A to be directly in line with T.

So looking at the compass directions draw a right angled triangle (shown in red) and solve.

I did this paper for my IGCSEs and got and A* so dont sweat it.

Just keep practicing ;)

Yeah I answered in may/june of this year - physics was a bit tough, I came out alright though :)

The only thing TO DO for IGCSEs are pastpapers and I mean ALL of them. Not just 4 years worth, but all of them.

You've got like a month now, so get your game together and just keep practicing pastpapers - you should have looked at the syllabus and finished your textbook stuff by now.

Good Luck ;)

For the 2010 May June paper regarding the diagnols formula :

You DONT need to know that formula. In the exam I had to prove what the formula was; which I did successfully.

Do you need help with it ?

Study your textbook PROPERLY. Every detail matters.

Past papers are the key.

Start moving fast - time is running out.
