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.

19. (a) Diagram showing tower TF, points P and Q with Q closer, angles 35° and 52°. [B2 - 1 for correct diagram, 1 for correct labels]
(b) tan 35° = h/(x + 40) → h = (x + 40) tan 35° [B1] tan 52° = h/x → h = x tan 52° [B1]
(c) x tan 52° = (x + 40) tan 35° [M1] x(1.2799...) = (x + 40)(0.7002...) 1.2799x = 0.7002x + 28.008 0.5797x = 28.008 [M1] x = 48.31... m h = 48.31... × tan 52° = 48.31... × 1.2799... = 61.84... ≈ 61.8 m [A1]
(d) PF = x + 40 = 48.31... + 40 = 88.31... ≈ 88.3 m [A1]
20. (a) Check if Pythagoras holds: 9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225; 15² = 225. [M1] Since 9² + 12² = 15², triangle UVW is right-angled with the right angle at V. [A1]
(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]
