Question:

In the figure opposite, a square of side 8cm is joined edge-to-edge to a semicircle, with centre O. P is 2 cm from O on the figure’s axis of symmetry. Points X and Y are fixed but the position of Z is variable on the shape’s perimeter.


a. Find the mean distance from P to X Y, and Z when angle POZ is equal to:

i. 180° 

ii. 135°

b. Find obtuse angle POZ, so that the mean distance from P to X Y, and Z is identical to the mean distance from P to X and Y.
