fast urgent please

Suppose, bearing A from B.
A FROM B

So, at point B, you draw a north.

The angle from the North of B, in between that north and line joining B to A, is the bearing.

The bearing is always taken from the north, in CLOCKWISE DIRECTION, and is always written in THREE DIGITS.

e.g  030 deg.

Could someone take a look at 0580/03 Oct/Nov 2009 Paper 3 core

Question 4 part c.  "Use trigonmetry to calculate the length of BC".

I did:

7 (cos 55)

Which obvioulsy isn't right as that would mean the hym is the shortest side :(

Where have i gone wrong please?!

Thank You!

Can anybody plz solve the question 9 in nov 06 paper 4 and attach it for me...
Inequalities... I HATE IT.. plzz heeelp i'm dying for it......

right um the inequalities to start of with

so he works no more than 12 hours
if x was washing cars and y was repairing cycles
that means that when he does both it would take him max. 12 hours
so x+y<=12

for the second one
he spends at least 4 hours so it would be x>= 4


when u plot the points
if the equation was less than
u would shade the right side because it is more than etc.
then for the least u just follow on the graph
(4,4)
and for the most
(6,6)
if u need further explanation do tell :)
take whatever you want and give nothing back :)
