(a) On the Cartesian plane below, draw the quadrilateral PQRS with vertices P(4,6), Q(6,3), R(4,4), and S(2,3)
(b) Draw P′Q′R′S′ the image of PQRS under the transformation defined by the translation vector 
Write down the coordinates of P′Q′R′S′.
(c) P′′Q′′R′′S′′ is the image of P′Q′R′S′ when reflected in the line y = 1. On the same plane, draw P′′Q′′R′′S′′.
(d) Draw P′′′Q′′′R′′′S′′′ the image P′′Q′′R′′S′′ when reflected in the line y – x = 0
(e) Find by construction, the centre of the rotation that maps P′′′Q′′′R′′′S′′′ onto PQRS and hence determine the coordinates of the centre of the rotation and the angle of the rotation.

(Solved)
The figure below shows a rectangular sheet of metal whose length is twice its width.
An open rectangular tank is made by cutting equal squares of length 60 cm from each of its four corners and folding along the dotted lines shown in the figure above. Given that the capacity of the tank so formed is 1920 litres and the width of the metal sheet used was x cm;
a) (i) Express the volume of the tank formed in terms of x cm.
(ii) Hence or otherwise obtain the length and width of the sheet of metal that was used.
b) If the cost of the metal sheet per m2 is Kshs 1000 and labour cost for making the tank is 300 per hour.
Find the selling price of the tank in order to make a 30% profit if it took 6 hours to make the tank.
