Here's the solution to the problem:

a) Step 1: Interpret the bearing N 30°E. This means 30° measured clockwise from the North direction. Step 2: Express this as a three-figure bearing. 030∘\boxed{030^\circ}

b) (i) Find the bearing of A from B. Step 1: The bearing of B from A is 030∘030^\circ. Step 2: To find the bearing of A from B (back bearing), add 180∘180^\circ to the original bearing since 030∘<180∘030^\circ < 180^\circ. 030∘+180∘=210∘030^\circ + 180^\circ = 210^\circ 210∘\boxed{210^\circ}

(ii) Find the bearing of B from C. Step 1: The bearing of B from A is 030∘030^\circ. The bearing of A from B is 210∘210^\circ. This means that at point B, the line BA makes an angle of 210∘210^\circ clockwise from the North line at B. Step 2: We are given ∠ABC=45∘\angle ABC = 45^\circ. This angle is measured from BA to BC. Since the angle is positive, we assume BC is clockwise from BA. Step 3: The bearing of C from B is the bearing of BA plus ∠ABC\angle ABC. 210∘+45∘=255∘210^\circ + 45^\circ = 255^\circ Step 4: To find the bearing of B from C (back bearing), subtract 180∘180^\circ from the bearing of C from B since 255∘>180∘255^\circ > 180^\circ. 255∘−180∘=075∘255^\circ - 180^\circ = 075^\circ 075∘\boxed{075^\circ}

c) Two similar cuboids have corresponding sides in the ratio 4:6.

(i) Express the ratio in its simplest form. Step 1: Divide both parts of the ratio by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. 4:6=42:62=2:34:6 = \frac{4}{2}:\frac{6}{2} = 2:3 2:3\boxed{2:3}

(ii) Find the ratio of the volumes of the cuboids. Step 1: If the ratio of corresponding sides of similar figures is a:ba:b, then the ratio of their volumes is a3:b3a^3:b^3. Step 2: Using the simplified side ratio 2:32:3. Ratio of volumes=23:33=8:27\text{Ratio of volumes} = 2^3:3^3 = 8:27 8:27\boxed{8:27}

(iii) If the volume of the larger cuboid is 81 cm³, find the volume of the smaller cuboid. Step 1: Let VSV_S be the volume of the smaller cuboid and VLV_L be the volume of the larger cuboid. From (c)(ii), VSVL=827\frac{V_S}{V_L} = \frac{8}{27}. Step 2: Substitute the given volume of the larger cuboid, VL=81 cm3V_L = 81 \text{ cm}^3. VS81 cm3=827\frac{V_S}{81 \text{ cm}^3} = \frac{8}{27} Step 3: Solve for VSV_S. VS=827×81 cm3=8×3 cm3=24 cm3V_S = \frac{8}{27} \times 81 \text{ cm}^3 = 8 \times 3 \text{ cm}^3 = 24 \text{ cm}^3 24 cm3\boxed{24 \text{ cm}^3}

(iv) Find the mass of the larger cuboid if its density is 0.5 g/cm³. Step 1: Recall the formula for density: Density=MassVolume\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}. Therefore, Mass=Density×Volume\text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume}. Step 2: Use the given density (0.5 g/cm30.5 \text{ g/cm}^3) and the volume of the larger cuboid (81 cm381 \text{ cm}^3). Mass=0.5 g/cm3×81 cm3=40.5 g\text{Mass} = 0.5 \text{ g/cm}^3 \times 81 \text{ cm}^3 = 40.5 \text{ g} 40.5 g\boxed{40.5 \text{ g}}
