A secant is a straight line that intersects a circle at two points and extends outside the circle.
In this investigation:
• each secant must cut every other secant
• only 2 secants may intersect at any point
• secants must not intersect on the circumference of the circle.
The diagram shows the number of regions with 2 secants drawn on a circle.

$$ b = \text{.................................} $$
$$ c = \text{.................................} $$
Tangents are drawn on a circle to give the maximum number of regions. There are 1225 regions.
Find the number of tangents.
There are two circles.
The first circle has chords drawn on it.
The second circle has secants drawn on it.
The number of chords on the first circle is the same as the number of secants on the second circle.
Each circle has the maximum number of regions.
One circle has 60 more regions than the other.

AIRPORT RUNWAY (30 marks)
You are advised to spend no more than 50 minutes on this part.
This task looks at the factors that affect the decision to build a second runway at an airport.
The factors are:
• the number of seconds a plane waits over the airport before it can start to land
• the number of seconds it then takes to land.
A plane cannot begin to land until the runway is free but must wait over the airport.
As soon as the runway is free the plane begins to land.
The number of seconds between one plane and the next plane arriving over the airport is called the $\text{inter-arrival time}$.
The number of seconds from when a plane begins to land and when it stops is called the $\text{landing time}$.
This table shows the data for the first 5 planes arriving at the airport for the 1080 seconds after 8 am on day 1.
For example: Plane B arrives 120 seconds after plane A. Plane A has not ended its landing.
Plane B starts its landing 180 seconds after 8 am, as soon as plane A has ended its landing.
[Table_1]
(a) Complete the table.

(b) A plane uses the runway for the whole of its landing time.
Calculate the total time that the runway was $not$ used during these 1080 seconds.
