S2 The plan below represents the playground in my

junior school. The corners are at co-ordinates (13,
12), (13, -14), (-13, -14) and (-13, 14) and the arrow
indicates north. Four crosses have been drawn on
the playground at co-ordinates (10, 10) , (6, -7) , (-8
, -11) and (-5 , 5) but these are not shown on the
plans below.
If you were to connect the 4 crosses to form a 4
sided figure, which of the following would be the
most accurate description of the figure:
a. an irregular quadrilateral
b. a trapezium
c. a parallelogram
d. a rectangle
e. a rhombus
Answer : an irregular quadrilateral
There are strict rules in our school which state that
you can only walk in the direction of one of the four
compass points. To get from the centre (0,0) to the
nearest of the 4 crosses involves walking a total
distance of 20 metres. If you were to walk from
cross to cross all the way round the four sided
figure, following school rules at all times, how far
would you walk?
