16. (a) For angle DEF to be obtuse, DE² + EF² < DF². [M1] 18² + 22² = 324 + 484 = 808; 26² = 676. 808 > 676, so DE² + EF² > DF², meaning angle DEF is acute, not obtuse. Correction: Check angle opposite longest side. Longest side is DF = 26 cm, opposite angle DEF. DE² + EF² = 808, DF² = 676. Since 808 > 676, angle DEF is acute. Wait - the question asks to show it is obtuse. Let's re-examine. If DE² + EF² < DF², then angle DEF > 90° (obtuse). 18² + 22² = 324 + 484 = 808; 26² = 676. 808 > 676, so angle DEF < 90° (acute). The premise of the question is incorrect based on these numbers. Let's adjust the answer to reflect the correct mathematical conclusion. DE² + EF² = 808, DF² = 676. Since 808 > 676, DE² + EF² > DF², therefore angle DEF is acute (less than 90°). [M1] The statement that angle DEF is obtuse is false. [A1]

Note: If the question intended an obtuse angle, the numbers would need adjustment. For this answer key, we show the correct mathematical reasoning.

(b) cos DEF = (18² + 22² − 26²) / (2 × 18 × 22) [M1] = (324 + 484 − 676) / 792 = 132/792 = 0.1666... DEF = cos⁻¹(0.1666...) = 80.40...° ≈ 80.4° [A1]

EG² = 324 + 136.89 − 421.2 × 0.7641... = 460.89 − 321.8... = 139.0... EG = √139.0... = 11.79... ≈ 11.8 cm [A1]

(c) Area ABC = ½ × 8 × 12 × sin 78.28...° = 48 × 0.9791... = 46.99... cm² [M1] Area ADC = ½ × 7 × 10 × sin 98.21...° = 35 × 0.9897... = 34.64... cm² [M1] Total area = 46.99... + 34.64... = 81.63... ≈ 81.6 cm² [A1]

(d) Using cosine rule in triangle ABD: Need angle BAD. Angle BAD = angle BAC + angle CAD. In triangle ABC: sin BAC / 12 = sin 78.28...° / 13 → sin BAC = 12 × 0.9791... / 13 = 0.9038...; BAC = 64.66...° In triangle ADC: sin CAD / 10 = sin 98.21...° / 13 → sin CAD = 10 × 0.9897... / 13 = 0.7613...; CAD = 49.56...° Angle BAD = 64.66...° + 49.56...° = 114.22...° [M1] BD² = 8² + 7² − 2(8)(7) cos 114.22...° = 64 + 49 − 112 × (−0.4102...) = 113 + 45.94... = 158.94...

(b) sin VUW = opposite/hypotenuse = 12/15 = 0.8 [M1] VUW = sin⁻¹(0.8) = 53.13...° ≈ 53.1° [A1]

(c) Area of UVW = ½ × 9 × 12 = 54 cm² [M1] Also, Area = ½ × UW × VX = ½ × 15 × VX 54 = 7.5 × VX VX = 54/7.5 = 7.2 cm [A1]

(d) UX = UV × cos VUW = 9 × cos 53.13...° = 9 × 0.6 = 5.4 cm [M1] Area UVX = ½ × UX × VX = ½ × 5.4 × 7.2 = 19.44 ≈ 19.4 cm² [A1]
