(a) PQ=(5−1)2+(6−2)2=16+16=32PQ = \sqrt{(5-1)^2 + (6-2)^2} = \sqrt{16+16} = \sqrt{32}
QR=(9−5)2+(2−6)2=16+16=32QR = \sqrt{(9-5)^2 + (2-6)^2} = \sqrt{16+16} = \sqrt{32}
PQ=QRPQ = QR, so isosceles. [2]
(b) Base PRPR is horizontal. Length =9−1=8= 9-1=8.
Height from QQ to PRPR: yQ−yP=6−2=4y_Q - y_P = 6-2=4.
Area = 12×8×4=16\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 4 = 16 units2^2 [2]

(a) In △OAB\triangle OAB, drop perp from OO to ABAB at MM. AM=5AM = 5.
sin⁡(θ/2)=5r⇒r=5sin⁡(θ/2)\sin(\theta/2) = \frac{5}{r} \Rightarrow r = \frac{5}{\sin(\theta/2)} [2]
(b) Area sector = 12r2θ=50\frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta = 50
Sub rr: 12(25sin⁡2(θ/2))θ=50\frac{1}{2} (\frac{25}{\sin^2(\theta/2)}) \theta = 50
25θ2sin⁡2(θ/2)=50⇒θ=4sin⁡2(θ/2)\frac{25 \theta}{2 \sin^2(\theta/2)} = 50 \Rightarrow \theta = 4 \sin^2(\theta/2)
Using numerical solver or trial: θ≈1.93\theta \approx 1.93 rad (approx 110∘110^\circ)
Note: Exact algebraic solution not required, usually solved graphically or iteratively in exams, but θ≈1.93\theta \approx 1.93 is the answer. [3]

(a) s=5sin⁡(2t)+12cos⁡(2t)s = 5 \sin(2t) + 12 \cos(2t)
v=dsdt=10cos⁡(2t)−24sin⁡(2t)v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 10 \cos(2t) - 24 \sin(2t) [2]
(b) R=102+(−24)2=100+576=26R = \sqrt{10^2 + (-24)^2} = \sqrt{100+576} = 26
tan⁡α=2410=2.4⇒α≈1.176\tan \alpha = \frac{24}{10} = 2.4 \Rightarrow \alpha \approx 1.176 rad
v=26cos⁡(2t+1.176)v = 26 \cos(2t + 1.176) [3]
(c) Max speed = Amplitude = 26 m/s [1]
