Check Pythagoras: $9^2 + 12^2 = 81 + 144 = 225$ .
$15^2 = 225$ .
Since $9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2$ , it is right-angled at $B$ (opposite hypotenuse $AC$ ? No, $AC=9, BC=12, AB=15$ . Hypotenuse is $AB$ . So angle $C$ is $90^\circ$ ).
Wait, $AB=15$ is the longest side. $AC^2 + BC^2 = 81 + 144 = 225 = AB^2$ .
Therefore, angle $ACB = 90^\circ$ .
Answer: Shown [2]

$\tan A = \frac{12}{9}$ .

$\angle ACD = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 34^\circ = 56^\circ$ .
Answer: $56^\circ$ [2]

$\angle CBD$ subtends arc $CD$ . $\angle CAD$ subtends arc $CD$ .

Answer: $34^\circ$ [2]

14. Bearings and Cosine Rule (a) Angle $PQR$

Bearing $P \to Q = 050^\circ$ . Back bearing $Q \to P = 050 + 180 = 230^\circ$ .

Answer: $90^\circ$ $9 0^{\circ}$ [2]

(b) Distance $PR$

Since angle is $90^\circ$ , use Pythagoras.

Bearing $R \to Q$ is back bearing of $140^\circ = 320^\circ$ .
Bearing $R \to P = 320^\circ + 53.13^\circ = 373.13^\circ \rightarrow 013.1^\circ$ .
Alternative: Angle $QPR = \tan^{-1}(30/40) = 36.87^\circ$ .
Bearing $P \to Q = 050^\circ$ . Bearing $P \to R = 050 + 36.87 = 086.87^\circ$ .
Bearing $R \to P = 086.87 + 180 = 266.87^\circ$ ? No.
Let's use coordinates or standard bearing logic.
- North at R. Line RQ is bearing 320. Angle PRQ is 53.1.
- P is to the "left" of RQ vector?
- Let's draw. Q is NE of P. R is SE of Q.
- Angle PQR is 90.

- Extend North line at R. Angle between North (up) and RQ (bearing 320, which is NW) is 40 degrees to the left? No, 320 is NW.
- Let's use simple geometry.
- Bearing $Q \to P$ is $230^\circ$ . Bearing $Q \to R$ is $140^\circ$ .
- Angle $PQR = 90^\circ$ .
- In $\triangle PQR$ , angle $QRP = 53.1^\circ$ .
- Bearing $R \to Q$ is $140 + 180 = 320^\circ$ .
- $P$ is "inside" the turn from R to Q?
- Vector $QP$ is SW. Vector $QR$ is SE.
- $P$ is West of $Q$ . $R$ is East of $Q$ .
- Bearing $R \to P$ :
- Angle of $RP$ with Vertical at $R$ .
- Draw North at $R$ . $Q$ is at bearing $320^\circ$ from $R$ .
- Line $RP$ makes angle $53.1^\circ$ with $RQ$ .
- Is $P$ clockwise or anti-clockwise from $Q$ relative to $R$ ?
- $P$ is to the left of $RQ$ looking from $R$ ?
- Yes. So Bearing $= 320 - 53.1 = 266.9^\circ$ .
- Let's check: Bearing $P \to R$ .
- Bearing $P \to Q = 050$ . Angle $QPR = 36.9$ .
- Bearing $P \to R = 050 + 36.9 = 086.9$ .
- Bearing $R \to P = 086.9 + 180 = 266.9^\circ$ .

16. Trigonometry Application (Tower) (a) Distance $AD$

$\triangle TAD$ right-angled at $D$ .
$\tan 30^\circ = \frac{25}{AD} \Rightarrow AD = \frac{25}{\tan 30^\circ} = 25 \sqrt{3} \approx 43.30$ .
Answer: $43.3$ m [2]

(b) Distance $CD$

$\triangle TCD$ right-angled at $D$ .
$\tan 45^\circ = \frac{25}{CD} \Rightarrow CD = \frac{25}{1} = 25$ .
Answer: $25$ m [2]

$D$ is on $AC$ . $AC = AD + CD$ .
$43.30 + 25 = 68.30$ .

$B$ is on the line $POC$ . $A, B, C$ on circle.
Wait, $PBC$ is a line through centre. So $BC$ is diameter.
Angle $BAC$ is angle in semicircle.
Answer: $90^\circ$ $9 0^{\circ}$ [2]

Cosine Rule in $\triangle ABC$ :
$AC^2 = 80^2 + 110^2 - 2(80)(110)\cos 75^\circ$ .

Answer: $6940$ m $^2$ [1]

19. Composite Solid Algebra (a) Height expression

Total height $= r + h = 12$ .
Answer: $h = 12 - r$ [1]

(b) Volume Expression

Vol Hemisphere $= \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$ .
Vol Cone $= \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ .
Total $V = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ .
Factor out $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2$ :
$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (2r + h)$ .
Question asks to show $V = \pi r^2 (4 + \frac{1}{3}h)$ $V = π r^{2} (4 + \frac{1}{3} h)$ ?
- Let's check the prompt's target expression: $\pi r^2 (4 + \frac{1}{3}h)$ .
- This implies $\frac{2}{3}r = 4 \Rightarrow r=6$ ? No, it's a general show that.
- Wait, the prompt says "Show that the volume... is given by...".
- Let's re-read carefully. "Total height is 12".
- Maybe substitute $r$ ? No, $r$ is variable.
- Let's look at the expression: $\pi r^2 (4 + h/3) = 4\pi r^2 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ .
- My derived volume: $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ .
- These are only equal if $\frac{2}{3}r^3 = 4r^2 \Rightarrow r=6$ .
- Ah, part (c) asks to find $r$ . Part (b) might rely on substituting $r=6$ ? No, that's circular.
- Let's re-evaluate the target expression in the question.
- Perhaps the question meant: Substitute $h = 12-r$ into volume?
- $V = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (12-r) = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + 4\pi r^2 - \frac{1}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^3 + 4\pi r^2$ .
- Factor $\pi r^2$ : $\pi r^2 (\frac{1}{3}r + 4)$ .
- The prompt text says: $\pi r^2 (4 + \frac{1}{3}h)$ . This seems to be a typo in the generated question or I am misinterpreting.
- Let's assume the question intended: Show $V = \pi r^2 (4 + \frac{r}{3})$ ?
- Or maybe the target was $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (2r+h)$ .
- Given the constraint "Show that...", and the likely intended path:
- $V = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ .
- If we use $h = 12-r$ , $V = \pi r^2 (4 + \frac{r}{3})$ .
- I will provide marks for deriving the correct volume formula in terms of $r$ and $h$ , and then substituting $h$ .
- Marking:
  - M1 for Vol Hemisphere + Vol Cone.
  - M1 for substituting $h=12-r$ .
  - M1 for simplifying to $\pi r^2(4 + r/3)$ . (Note: If the question text strictly says $h$ in the bracket, it's dimensionally inconsistent if $4$ is a number. I will assume the question meant $r$ ).
  - Self-Correction for Answer Key: I will treat the "Show that" as deriving $V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2(2r+h)$ and then using the specific values later. However, to align with the "Find r" part, the expression must be in one variable.
  - Let's assume the question text in the paper had a typo and should read $\pi r^2 (4 + \frac{r}{3})$ .
  - Answer: Shown [3]

$150\pi = \pi r^2 (4 + \frac{r}{3})$ .
$150 = 4r^2 + \frac{r^3}{3}$ .
$450 = 12r^2 + r^3$ .
$r^3 + 12r^2 - 450 = 0$ .
Try integer roots. Factors of 450.
Try $r=5$ : $125 + 300 - 450 = -25$ .
Try $r=6$ : $216 + 432 - 450 = 198$ .
Try $r=5.something$ .
Let's check $r=5.5$ : $166 + 363 - 450 > 0$ .
Let's check the volume calculation again.
Maybe the target expression was different.
Let's solve $r^3 + 12r^2 - 450 = 0$ numerically.
$f(5) = -25$ . $f(5.1) = 132.6 + 312.1 - 450 = -5.3$ .
$f(5.2) = 140.6 + 324.5 - 450 = 15.1$ .
Root approx $5.13$ .
Answer: $5.13$ [3]

20. Vectors (a) $\vec{OB}$

Parallelogram law: $\vec{OB} = \vec{OA} + \vec{OC} = \mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}$ .
Answer: $\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}$ [1]

(b) $\vec{OM}$

$M$ is midpoint of $AB$ .
$\vec{OM} = \vec{OA} + \vec{AM}$ .
$\vec{AM} = \frac{1}{2} \vec{AB}$ .
$\vec{AB} = \vec{OB} - \vec{OA} = (\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{c}) - \mathbf{a} = \mathbf{c}$ .
$\vec{OM} = \mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{c}$ .
Answer: $\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{c}$ [2]

$N$ on $BC$ . $BN:NC = 1:2$ . So $\vec{BN} = \frac{1}{3}\vec{BC}$ .
$\vec{BC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OB}$ ? No, $\vec{BC} = \vec{AO} = -\mathbf{a}$ ?
In parallelogram, $\vec{BC} = \vec{AD}$ ? No. $\vec{BC} = \vec{AO}$ ? No.
$\vec{BC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OB}$ is wrong. $\vec{BC} = \vec{C} - \vec{B}$ ?
$\vec{BC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OB}$ ? No.
$\vec{BC} = \vec{AD}$ ? No. $\vec{BC} = \vec{AO}$ ? No.
$\vec{BC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OB}$ ? No.
$\vec{BC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OB}$ is vector from B to C.
$\vec{OB} = \mathbf{a}+\mathbf{c}$ . $\vec{OC} = \mathbf{c}$ .
$\vec{BC} = \mathbf{c} - (\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{c}) = -\mathbf{a}$ .
$\vec{ON} = \vec{OB} + \vec{BN} = (\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{c}) + \frac{1}{3}(-\mathbf{a}) = \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}$ .
Answer: $\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}$ [2]

(d) Ratio $AP : AB$

$P$ lies on line $AB$ extended. So $\vec{AP} = k \vec{AB} = k \mathbf{c}$ .
$\vec{OP} = \vec{OA} + \vec{AP} = \mathbf{a} + k \mathbf{c}$ .
$P$ also lies on line $ON$ extended. So $\vec{OP} = m \vec{ON} = m(\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}) = \frac{2m}{3}\mathbf{a} + m\mathbf{c}$ .
Equate coefficients of $\mathbf{a}$ : $1 = \frac{2m}{3} \Rightarrow m = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ .
Equate coefficients of $\mathbf{c}$ : $k = m = 1.5$ .
So $\vec{AP} = 1.5 \mathbf{c}$ .
Since $\vec{AB} = \mathbf{c}$ , $AP = 1.5 AB$ .
Ratio $AP : AB = 1.5 : 1 = 3 : 2$ .
Answer: $3:2$ $3 : 2$ [4]
- M1 for defining P on AB line.
- M1 for defining P on ON line.
- M1 for solving simultaneous equations for scalars.
- A1 for correct ratio.
