  1. Figure 1 shows one side ABCD of a square-based prism. Each side of its square base is 14 cm, its height DC is 18 cm, and it is filled with water to a height of 16 cm. Figure 2 shows it tilted until the water level is MC, spilling some water. M is the midpoint of AB.
    1. Find the volume of water spilled during the tilt.[2]
    2. Find \(\angle CDE\), the angle between the prism and the table.[2]
  2. The line \(L\) has equation \(2y-x=12\) and cuts the x-axis at \(Q\) and y-axis at \(P\).
    1. Write down the gradient of \(PQ\).[1]
    2. Point \(K\) lies on \(L\) and is equidistant from the x-axis and y-axis. Find all possible coordinates of \(K\).[2]
    3. Find the acute angle \(QPO\).[2]
