The bottom of the picture is 0.5 m above your
eye level and the top of the picture is 2.5 m
above your eye level. As you walk towards
the picture you notice that the visual angle,
θ , increases and then decreases.
Where should you
stand to maximise θ ?

2017 MATHS AS/A LEVELS PROBLEM SOLVING
OCR AS/A Level in Mathematics
B (MEI) and OCR AS/A Level in
Further Mathematics B (MEI) for
teaching from 2017
From 2017, AS and A level Mathematics and
Further Mathematics are required to have a
greater emphasis on modelling, problem solving,
reasoning and integration of technology, and
statistics will have a new focus on interpretation
of data. These are features that MEI has been
promoting for many years.
What’s so special about these
specifications?
