@Y12_FurtherMathsI believe question 9 is worded too vaguely as it has two possible answers.

Hello!

The median is 120 as we’ve calculated. So let’s try going 1 below and 1 above. So our sequence is 115, 117, 119, 121, (going up in 2s) , 123,125. I have just excluded the left part of the sequence as we aren’t interested in that. Now this is a valid sequence, let’s try 2 either side of 120. So …, 118, 122, (up in 4s) 126,130. This works. Now try 3 below etc etc. When we try 6 below and above we reach an angle of 150 degrees which we don’t want as it should be below 150.

If you’d like a video solution that’s not trial and error, check this out : https://youtu.be/mtxyg8MT5WY
