last question on trig was using
similar triangles... i hope...

you calculate the scale factor of the base apply it to the height
plus 4.5m  i got 7.75m..... omg hope im right

i believe were right though. cutting off the rectangle below and finding the scale factor yeah? thats what i did too. =)

I got 324/64. Which is like 5.078.  I left it as a fraction cos they didn't tell us to round off :S
I got that too!
But other people here are saying it's 7.75 :s

not necessarily, although to some extent that maybe the case. i wont say that for the upper end though. 1mark=1ss i think would still be the penalty.

Seems to make sense if they push it up a little. But then again if the cutoffs for the grades such as an A or A+ are higher then I would assume that the SS's would be a little higher. I dont think that makes sense at all :S
