(a) [Figure 8.1] The length of the rectangle R is twice its width. Rectangle R has a perimeter of 20.4 cm. (b) [Figure 8.2] A piece of card is a sector of a circle with sector angle 75° and radius 8 cm.

  1. (a)(i)Find the length and width of the rectangle R.[2]
  2. (a)(ii)Rectangle S is mathematically similar to rectangle R. Rectangle S has a perimeter of 30.6 cm. Calculate the length of rectangle S.[2]
  3. (b)(i)Find an expression, in terms of π, for the arc length of the sector. Give your answer in its simplest form.[2]
  4. (b)(ii)[Volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h] The piece of card forms the curved surface area of a cone. The cone is filled to the top with water. Calculate the volume of water in the cone.[5]
