Answer Key & Marking Scheme Version 2

Section A: Short Answer Questions

1. Area $= \frac{1}{2} ab \sin C$ $= \frac{1}{2} (12)(9) \sin 65^\circ$ $= 54 \times 0.9063...$ $= 48.94...$ Answer: $48.9$ cm$^2$ [2] (1 mark for formula/substitution, 1 mark for answer)

2. Angle at centre $= 2 \times$ angle at circumference. Reflex $\angle AOC = 360^\circ - 110^\circ = 250^\circ$. $\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} \times 250^\circ = 125^\circ$. Alternatively, $\angle ABC = 180^\circ - \frac{1}{2}(110^\circ)$ is incorrect logic for this position. Correct logic: Angle at circumference subtended by major arc. Or use cyclic quad property if a point D was on the major arc. Standard theorem: Angle at centre is twice angle at circumference. The angle $\angle ABC$ subtends the major arc $AC$. Reflex $\angle AOC = 250^\circ$. $\angle ABC = 125^\circ$. Answer: $125^\circ$ [2]

3. $\cos \theta = \frac{\text{Adj}}{\text{Hyp}} = \frac{1.8}{5}$ $\theta = \cos^{-1}(0.36)$ $\theta = 68.899...^\circ$ Answer: $68.9^\circ$ [2]

4. Cosine Rule: $b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cos B$ $PR^2 = 8^2 + 11^2 - 2(8)(11) \cos 40^\circ$ $PR^2 = 64 + 121 - 176(0.7660...)$ $PR^2 = 185 - 134.82...$ $PR^2 = 50.17...$ $PR = 7.083...$ Answer: $7.08$ cm [3]

5. Area of Sector $= \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2$ $= \frac{72}{360} \times \pi (14)^2$ $= 0.2 \times 196\pi$ $= 39.2\pi$ $= 123.15...$ Answer: $123$ cm$^2$ [2]

6. Distance $= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$ $= \sqrt{(8-2)^2 + (1-5)^2}$ $= \sqrt{6^2 + (-4)^2}$ $= \sqrt{36 + 16} = \sqrt{52}$ $= 7.211...$ Answer: $7.21$ units [2]

7. $\angle EGB$ and $\angle AGH$ are vertically opposite, so $\angle AGH = 115^\circ$. $\angle AGH$ and $\angle GHD$ are alternate interior angles? No, $AB \parallel CD$. $\angle EGB$ corresponds to $\angle GHD$? No. $\angle EGB$ and $\angle BGH$ are supplementary on straight line? No. $\angle EGB = 115^\circ$. $\angle BGH = 180 - 115 = 65^\circ$ (angles on straight line $EF$). $\angle BGH$ and $\angle GHD$ are alternate interior angles. So $\angle GHD = 65^\circ$. Alternatively: $\angle EGB$ and $\angle GHD$ are corresponding angles? No. $\angle EGB$ corresponds to $\angle EHD$ (if extended). Let's use corresponding angles: $\angle EGB$ corresponds to $\angle GHD$? No, $\angle EGB$ is top-right. $\angle GHD$ is bottom-right interior. $\angle EGB = \angle DHF$ (corresponding). $\angle DHF$ and $\angle GHD$ are vertically opposite? No. Simplest: $\angle EGB = 115^\circ$. $\angle AGH = 115^\circ$ (vertically opposite). $\angle AGH + \angle GHC = 180$ (consecutive interior). $\angle GHC = 65^\circ$. $\angle GHD$ and $\angle GHC$ are supplementary on line $CD$? No. Let's restart. $AB \parallel CD$. Transversal $EF$. $\angle EGB = 115^\circ$. $\angle BGH = 180^\circ - 115^\circ = 65^\circ$ (angles on a straight line). $\angle BGH$ and $\angle GHD$ are alternate interior angles. Therefore $\angle GHD = 65^\circ$. Answer: $65^\circ$ [2]

8. Curved Surface Area $= \pi r l$ $= \pi (5)(13)$ $= 65\pi$ $= 204.20...$ Answer: $204$ cm$^2$ [2]

9. $\tan(\angle YXZ) = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}} = \frac{YZ}{XY}$ $= \frac{10}{7}$ Answer: $\frac{10}{7}$ or $1.43$ [2]

10. Sum of interior angles $= (n-2) \times 180^\circ = (6-2) \times 180 = 720^\circ$. One angle $= \frac{720}{6} = 120^\circ$. Answer: $120^\circ$ [2]

11. Bearing $050^\circ$ then $140^\circ$. Angle inside triangle at $B$: North line at $B$. Back bearing from $B$ to $A$ is $050 + 180 = 230^\circ$. Angle between North and $BC$ is $140^\circ$. Angle $ABC = 230^\circ - 140^\circ = 90^\circ$. Triangle $ABC$ is right-angled at $B$. $AC^2 = 20^2 + 15^2 = 400 + 225 = 625$. $AC = \sqrt{625} = 25$. Answer: $25$ km [3]

12. Tangents from external point are equal length. Triangle $OAT$ and $OBT$ are congruent right-angled triangles? Quadrilateral $OATB$. Angles at $A$ and $B$ are $90^\circ$ (tangent-radius). Sum of angles in quad $= 360^\circ$. $\angle ATB = 360 - 90 - 90 - 130 = 50^\circ$. Answer: $50^\circ$ [2]

13. Volume $= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ $= \frac{4}{3} \pi (6)^3$ $= \frac{4}{3} \pi (216)$ $= 288\pi$ $= 904.77...$ Answer: $905$ cm$^3$ [2]

14. Product of gradients of perpendicular lines $= -1$. $m_1 \times m_2 = -1$ $-\frac{2}{3} \times m_2 = -1$ $m_2 = \frac{3}{2}$ Answer: $\frac{3}{2}$ or $1.5$ [2]

15. Check Pythagoras: $15^2 + 20^2 = 225 + 400 = 625$. $25^2 = 625$. Since $15^2 + 20^2 = 25^2$, it is right-angled. The right angle is opposite the hypotenuse ($LN$). So $\angle LMN = 90^\circ$. Answer: Angle $LMN$ (or $M$) [2]

Section B: Structured Questions

16. (a) Diagonal of square base $AC = \sqrt{10^2 + 10^2} = \sqrt{200} = 10\sqrt{2}$. $AC = 14.14...$ Answer: $14.1$ cm [2]

(b) Let $M$ be the centre of the base. $AM = \frac{1}{2} AC = 5\sqrt{2} \approx 7.071$ cm. Height $VM = 12$ cm. Triangle $VMA$ is right-angled at $M$. $\tan(\angle VAM) = \frac{VM}{AM} = \frac{12}{5\sqrt{2}}$. $\angle VAM = \tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{7.071}) = \tan^{-1}(1.697...)$. $\angle VAM = 59.48...^\circ$. Answer: $59.5^\circ$ [3]

(c) Total Surface Area = Area of Base + 4 $\times$ Area of Triangular Face. Area of Base $= 10 \times 10 = 100$ cm$^2$. Slant height of triangular face ($VA$): $VA = \sqrt{VM^2 + AM^2} = \sqrt{12^2 + (5\sqrt{2})^2} = \sqrt{144 + 50} = \sqrt{194} \approx 13.928$ cm. Area of one triangle $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{slant height}$? No, base is side of square (10). Height of triangle face is slant height from midpoint of side? Wait. $VA$ is the edge. The triangular face is $VAB$. We need the height of triangle $VAB$ from $V$ to midpoint of $AB$. Let this be $l$. $l = \sqrt{VM^2 + (\text{half side})^2} = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{144+25} = \sqrt{169} = 13$ cm. Area of one triangle $= \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 13 = 65$ cm$^2$. Total Area $= 100 + 4(65) = 100 + 260 = 360$ cm$^2$. Answer: $360$ cm$^2$ [4]

17. (a) Cosine Rule: $AC^2 = 14^2 + 18^2 - 2(14)(18) \cos 110^\circ$. $AC^2 = 196 + 324 - 504(-0.3420...)$. $AC^2 = 520 + 172.37... = 692.37...$ $AC = 26.31...$ Answer: $26.3$ cm [3]

(b) Area $= \frac{1}{2} ab \sin C = \frac{1}{2}(14)(18) \sin 110^\circ$. $= 126 \times 0.9396... = 118.39...$ Answer: $118$ cm$^2$ [2]

(c) Sine Rule: $\frac{\sin A}{a} = \frac{\sin B}{b}$. $\frac{\sin A}{18} = \frac{\sin 110^\circ}{26.31...}$ $\sin A = \frac{18 \sin 110^\circ}{26.31...} = \frac{16.914...}{26.31...} = 0.6428...$ $A = \sin^{-1}(0.6428...) = 39.99...^\circ$. Answer: $40.0^\circ$ [3]

18. (a) Angle in a semicircle is $90^\circ$. Answer: $\angle ADC = 90^\circ$. Reason: Angle in a semicircle. [2]

(b) In $\triangle ADC$, sum of angles $= 180^\circ$. $\angle ACD = 180 - 90 - 35 = 55^\circ$. Answer: $55^\circ$ [2]

(c) In right-angled $\triangle ADC$: $\sin(\angle CAD) = \frac{CD}{AC}$. $AC = \text{diameter} = 16$ cm. $\sin 35^\circ = \frac{CD}{16}$. $CD = 16 \sin 35^\circ = 16(0.5735...) = 9.177...$ Answer: $9.18$ cm [3]

(d) Area of Segment = Area of Sector $COD$ - Area of $\triangle COD$. Angle at centre $\angle COD = 2 \times \angle CAD = 70^\circ$ (Angle at centre is twice angle at circumference). Area of Sector $= \frac{70}{360} \times \pi (8)^2 = \frac{7}{36} \times 64\pi = 39.19...$ cm$^2$. Area of $\triangle COD = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \sin 70^\circ = \frac{1}{2}(64) \sin 70^\circ = 32(0.9396...) = 30.069...$ cm$^2$. Area of Segment $= 39.19... - 30.069... = 9.12...$ Answer: $9.12$ cm$^2$ [4]

19. (a) In $\triangle STA$: $\tan 25^\circ = \frac{h}{AT} \Rightarrow AT = \frac{h}{\tan 25^\circ}$. In $\triangle STB$: $\tan 40^\circ = \frac{h}{BT} \Rightarrow BT = \frac{h}{\tan 40^\circ}$. Answer: $AT = h \cot 25^\circ$ (or $\frac{h}{\tan 25^\circ}$), $BT = h \cot 40^\circ$ (or $\frac{h}{\tan 40^\circ}$) [2]

(b) $AT - BT = AB = 50$. $\frac{h}{\tan 25^\circ} - \frac{h}{\tan 40^\circ} = 50$. $h (2.1445... - 1.1917...) = 50$. $h (0.9527...) = 50$. $h = \frac{50}{0.9527...} = 52.48...$ Answer: $52.5$ m [4]

(c) $M$ is midpoint of $AB$. $AM = 25$. $MT = AT - 25$. $AT = \frac{52.48}{\tan 25^\circ} = 112.53$ m. $MT = 112.53 - 25 = 87.53$ m. $\tan(\angle SMT) = \frac{h}{MT} = \frac{52.48}{87.53} = 0.5995...$ $\angle SMT = \tan^{-1}(0.5995...) = 30.94...^\circ$. Answer: $30.9^\circ$ [3]

20. (a) Volume Cylinder $= \pi r^2 h = \pi (3^2)(10) = 90\pi$. Volume Hemisphere $= \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi (3^3) = 18\pi$. Total Volume $= 108\pi = 339.29...$ Answer: $339$ cm$^3$ [3]

(b) Surface Area Cylinder (curved + 1 base) $= 2\pi rh + \pi r^2 = 2\pi(3)(10) + \pi(3^2) = 60\pi + 9\pi = 69\pi$. Surface Area Hemisphere (curved only) $= 2\pi r^2 = 2\pi(3^2) = 18\pi$. Total SA $= 69\pi + 18\pi = 87\pi = 273.31...$ Answer: $273$ cm$^2$ [4]
