GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Graphs: Coordinates and Ratio - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to solve a geometry problem involving four identical squares. It starts by introducing the problem and the given coordinates of points A and B. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the X and Y coordinates of point C using the properties of the squares. Finally, it explains the mark allocation for each step of the solution, emphasizing the importance of understanding the problem and planning the solution.

What is the distance between the X coordinates of points A and B?

• 22

• 32

• 8

• 16

How is the side length of each square determined?

• By dividing the distance between A and B by 4

• By subtracting the Y coordinates of A and B

• By adding the coordinates of A and B

• By dividing the total distance by 2

What is the X coordinate of point C?

• 6

• 14

• 38

• 22

How is the Y coordinate of point C calculated?

• By adding the Y coordinates of A and B

• By dividing the Y coordinate of B by 2

• By subtracting 16 from the Y coordinate of B

• By adding 8 to the Y coordinate of A

How many marks are awarded for correctly identifying the coordinates of point C?

• 1 mark

• 2 marks

• 3 marks

• 5 marks
