A6 Let A(0,0), B(3,5), C(3,0), D(5,0) and E(5,−5) be five points in the Cartesian plane The pentagonABCDE and its reflection in thex-axis are combined to make a seven sided figure What is the area of this figure?
A7
A7 A lawn 10 metres square receives cm of rain over its entire surface Assuming that the volume of each raindrop is cubic millimetre, the number of raindrops that fell on the lawn can be written as a one followed by a number of zeros How many zeros come after the 1?
A8
A8 The number 12 has the strange property that the next number (13) is prime, the number after that (14) is twice a prime (since 14 = 2×7) and the number after that (15) is three times a prime (since 15 = 3×5) Find a number N bigger than 12 so thatN + is prime,N + is twice a prime, andN+ is three times a prime

The following sequence of figures was created applying the same process to each new figure
