Marking notes: M1 for method (8 triangles), M1 for correct area of one triangle, A1 for correct total area to 3 s.f.

Section B: Structured Questions (45 marks)

13. Two buildings AB (45 m) and CD (30 m), horizontal distance d.

(a) Diagram should show:

Two vertical buildings with heights labelled
Horizontal ground, distance d between them
Angle of depression 20° from A to D
Angle of depression 35° from C to B
Horizontal lines from A and C [B2]

Marking notes: B1 for correct heights and angles, B1 for clear labelling of d and horizontal lines.

(b) From A looking down to D: vertical difference = 45 - 30 = 15 m tan 20° = 15/d → d = 15/tan 20° [M1, A1]

From C looking down to B: vertical difference = 45 - 30 = 15 m tan 35° = 15/d → d = 15/tan 35° [M1, A1]

Marking notes: M1 for each correct equation, A1 for each correct expression. Award full marks if both equations are correctly formed.

(c) The two equations should give the same d. Using either: d = 15/tan 20° = 15/0.3639... = 41.21... m or d = 15/tan 35° = 15/0.7002... = 21.42... m

Note: There is an inconsistency in the problem as stated. The angles of depression from different heights to different points should be considered carefully. Let's recalculate:

From A (45 m) to D (30 m): height difference = 15 m. tan 20° = 15/d → d = 15/tan 20° ≈ 41.2 m [M1]

From C (30 m) to B (45 m): This is an angle of elevation, not depression. The angle of depression from C to B would mean looking down from 30 m to 45 m, which is impossible. Let's reinterpret: The angle of depression from C to the base of building AB? Or the angle of depression from C to B means C is higher?

Correction for marking: The problem as written has an inconsistency. If we assume the angle of depression from C is to the foot of building AB (ground level), then: tan 35° = 30/d → d = 30/tan 35° ≈ 42.8 m

For marking purposes, accept either consistent interpretation. Award [M1, A1] for correct calculation based on the student's interpretation.

(d) Angle of elevation of A from C: Height difference = 45 - 30 = 15 m tan θ = 15/d [M1] Using d from part (c), θ = tan⁻¹(15/d) [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for correct method, A1 for correct angle. Accept answer consistent with student's d value.

14. Triangular field PQR, PQ = 120 m, QR = 150 m, RP = 100 m.

(a) Largest angle is opposite longest side (QR = 150 m), so ∠P is largest. Using cosine rule: cos P = (PQ² + PR² - QR²) / (2 × PQ × PR) [M1] cos P = (120² + 100² - 150²) / (2 × 120 × 100) cos P = (14400 + 10000 - 22500) / 24000 [M1] cos P = 1900/24000 = 0.07916... P = cos⁻¹(0.07916...) = 85.45...° ≈ 85.5° [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for identifying largest angle and using cosine rule, M1 for correct substitution, A1 for correct angle to 1 d.p.

(b) Area = ½ × PQ × PR × sin P [M1] Area = ½ × 120 × 100 × sin 85.45...° Area = 6000 × 0.9968... = 5980.8... ≈ 5980 m² [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for correct formula, A1 for correct area to 3 s.f. Accept alternative using Heron's formula.

(c) Area = ½ × QR × PS 5980.8... = ½ × 150 × PS [M1] PS = (2 × 5980.8...) / 150 [M1] PS = 79.74... ≈ 79.7 m [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for equating area formulas, M1 for correct rearrangement, A1 for correct answer to 3 s.f.

(d) Perimeter = 120 + 150 + 100 = 370 m [M1] Cost = 370 × $12.50 =$ 4625 [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for correct perimeter, A1 for correct cost.

15. Circle centre O, radius 8 cm, AC diameter, ∠BAC = 34°.

(a) ∠ABC = 90° [B1] Reason: Angle in a semicircle is a right angle (or angle subtended by diameter at circumference = 90°). [B1]

(b) In right-angled triangle ABC: sin 34° = BC/AC = BC/16 [M1] BC = 16 × sin 34° = 16 × 0.5591... = 8.947... ≈ 8.95 cm [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for correct trigonometric ratio, A1 for correct answer to 3 s.f.

(c) Area of triangle ABC = ½ × AB × BC First find AB: cos 34° = AB/16 → AB = 16 × cos 34° = 16 × 0.8290... = 13.26... cm [M1] Area = ½ × 13.26... × 8.947... = 59.33... ≈ 59.3 cm² [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for finding AB and using area formula, A1 for correct area to 3 s.f. Accept alternative using ½ × AC × BC × sin ∠ACB.

Marking notes: B1 for correct distances, B1 for correct angles.

(b) From P: tan 25° = h/(x + 30) → h = (x + 30) tan 25° [B1, M1] From Q: tan 40° = h/x → h = x tan 40° [B1, M1]

Marking notes: B1 for each correct equation, M1 embedded in correct formation.

(c) Equating: (x + 30) tan 25° = x tan 40° [M1] x tan 25° + 30 tan 25° = x tan 40° 30 tan 25° = x(tan 40° - tan 25°) x = 30 tan 25° / (tan 40° - tan 25°) [M1] x = 30 × 0.4663... / (0.8391... - 0.4663...) x = 13.989... / 0.3728... = 37.52... m h = x tan 40° = 37.52... × 0.8391... = 31.48... ≈ 31.5 m [A1]

(d) The pentagon can be divided into 5 congruent triangles from centre, or 3 triangles (ABC, ACD, ADE). Area of pentagon = 5 × area of one triangle from centre. Alternatively: Area = area of triangle ABC + area of triangle ACD + area of triangle ADE. Using centre method: Central angle = 72°, apothem needed. Using triangle method: Triangles ABC, ACD, ADE are congruent. Area = 3 × 30.43... = 91.29... ≈ 91.3 cm² [M1, A1]

Marking notes: M1 for correct method, A1 for correct area to 3 s.f. Accept alternative methods.

19. Circle radius 5 cm, chord AB = 8 cm, tangents at A and B meet at T.

(a) Let M be midpoint of AB. AM = MB = 4 cm. In right-angled triangle OMA: OM² + AM² = OA² [M1] OM² + 4² = 5² OM² = 25 - 16 = 9 OM = 3 cm [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for correct Pythagoras, A1 for correct distance.

(b) sin(∠AOM) = AM/OA = 4/5 = 0.8 [M1] ∠AOM = sin⁻¹(0.8) = 53.13...° ∠AOB = 2 × ∠AOM = 106.26...° ≈ 106° [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for correct trigonometric ratio, A1 for correct angle to 1 d.p. (or nearest degree).

(c) In right-angled triangle OAT (radius perpendicular to tangent): OA = 5 cm, ∠AOT = ∠AOM = 53.13...° [M1] tan(∠AOT) = AT/OA AT = 5 × tan 53.13...° [M1] AT = 5 × 1.333... = 6.666... ≈ 6.67 cm [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for identifying right angle, M1 for correct trigonometric ratio, A1 for correct length to 3 s.f.

(d) Area of quadrilateral OATB = 2 × area of triangle OAT Area of triangle OAT = ½ × OA × AT = ½ × 5 × 6.666... = 16.666... cm² [M1] Area of quadrilateral = 2 × 16.666... = 33.33... ≈ 33.3 cm² [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for correct method, A1 for correct area to 3 s.f.

20. Boat journey: H to A (070°, 15 km), A to B (160°, 20 km).

(a) Diagram should show:

North direction at H and A
Line HA at bearing 070°, length 15 km
Line AB at bearing 160°, length 20 km
Points H, A, B clearly labelled [B2]

Marking notes: B1 for correct bearings, B1 for correct lengths and labels.

(b) ∠HAB = 160° - 70° = 90° [M1] Using Pythagoras: HB² = HA² + AB² = 15² + 20² = 225 + 400 = 625 [M1] HB = 25 km [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for finding right angle, M1 for correct Pythagoras, A1 for correct distance.

(c) In triangle HAB: tan(∠AHB) = AB/HA = 20/15 = 4/3 [M1] ∠AHB = tan⁻¹(4/3) = 53.13...° ≈ 53.1° Bearing of H from B: First find bearing of B from H. Bearing of B from H = 070° + 90° = 160° (since ∠HAB = 90° and HA is at 070°). Wait, this needs recalculation.

∠HAB = 90°. HA is at bearing 070°, so AB is at 070° + 90° = 160° (which matches given bearing of 160°). So triangle HAB is right-angled at A. ∠AHB = tan⁻¹(20/15) = 53.13...° [M1] Bearing of B from H = 070° + 53.13...° = 123.13...° ≈ 123.1° Bearing of H from B = 123.1° + 180° = 303.1° (or 123.1° + 180° - 360° if > 360°) [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for finding ∠AHB, A1 for correct bearing. Accept 303.1° or 303°.

(d) Time = distance/speed = 25/12 = 2.0833... hours [M1] = 2 hours + 0.0833... × 60 minutes = 2 hours 5 minutes [A1]

Marking notes: M1 for correct time calculation, A1 for correct time in hours and minutes.
