$-0.5$ or $-\frac{1}{2}$
- $\cos(180-60) = -\cos 60^\circ$ . [1 mark]
$14.5\text{ cm}^2$
- $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5.4 \times 8.2 \times \sin 42^\circ \approx 14.53$ . [2 marks]
$0.160$
- $\text{Area shaded} = \pi(4)^2 = 16\pi$ ; $\text{Total area} = \pi(10)^2 = 100\pi$ .
- $P = \frac{16\pi}{100\pi} = 0.16$ . [2 marks]
$0.8$ or $\frac{4}{5}$
- $\text{Opp} = 3, \text{Adj} = 4 \implies \text{Hyp} = \sqrt{3^2+4^2} = 5$ .
- $\cos \theta = \frac{4}{5}$ . [2 marks]
$12.4\text{ cm}$
- $\text{Cosine Rule}: XZ^2 = 6^2 + 9^2 - 2(6)(9)\cos 110^\circ$ .
- $XZ^2 = 36 + 81 - 108(-0.342) \approx 153.9$ . $XZ = \sqrt{153.9} \approx 12.4$ . [3 marks]
$(M \cup N)'$ or $M' \cap N'$
- Region outside the union of both sets. [2 marks]
$M \cap N'$ or $M \setminus N$
- Region in $M$ and not in $N$ . [2 marks]
$3n + 1$
- $n=1 \to 4, n=2 \to 7, n=3 \to 10$ . Common difference is 3. $3(1)+1 = 4$ . [2 marks]
$n^2$
- $1, 4, 9$ are perfect squares. [2 marks]
$4.5\text{ cm}$
- Radius of big circle $R = 15$ . $AOB$ is diameter of big circle? No, $A$ is on circumference, $O$ is center, $B$ is center of small circle.
- $AO = 15$ . $AB = 6$ . $OB = 15 - 6 = 9$ .
- Small circle is tangent internally, so its diameter is $OB = 9$ . Radius $= 4.5$ . [3 marks]
$636\text{ cm}^2$
- $\text{Area} = \pi(15)^2 - \pi(4.5)^2 = 225\pi - 20.25\pi = 204.75\pi \approx 643\text{ cm}^2$ (using $\pi$ ).
- Correction: $204.75 \times 3.14159 = 643.2$ . [3 marks]

- $\angle C = 180 - (40 + 75) = 65^\circ$ .
- $\text{Sine Rule}: \frac{BC}{\sin 40^\circ} = \frac{12}{\sin 75^\circ} \implies BC = \frac{12 \times 0.6428}{0.9659} \approx 7.98$ .
- Wait, recalculating: $\frac{BC}{\sin 40} = \frac{12}{\sin 75} \to BC = 7.98$ . (If $BC$ is opposite $\angle A$ ). [3 marks]
$12.5\text{ cm}$
- $PR^2 = 8^2 + 11^2 - 2(8)(11)\cos 60^\circ = 64 + 121 - 176(0.5) = 185 - 88 = 97$ .
