Version 3 of 5 — Answer Key with Teaching Notes

Section A

Q1 [2 marks]
$\angle ABC = 60^\circ$ .
Method: Angle at centre ( $\angle AOC = 120^\circ$ ) is twice angle at circumference on same arc: $\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} \times 120^\circ = 60^\circ$ .
Teaching: Circle theorem — angle at centre is 2× angle at circumference subtended by same arc.
Common mistake: Using 120° directly.

Q2 [2 marks]
$\tan 45^\circ = 1$ .
Method: From special triangle or unit circle, $\tan 45^\circ = \frac{\text{opp}}{\text{adj}} = 1$ .
Teaching: Exact trig value to recall.

Q3 [2 marks]
Area rectangle $= 12 \times 5 = 60\text{ cm}^2$ . Area triangle $= \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 4 = 12\text{ cm}^2$ .
$P = \frac{12}{60} = \frac{1}{5}$ .
Teaching: Geometric probability = area shaded / total area.

Q4 [2 marks]
$(A \cup B)'$ or $A' \cap B'$ .
Teaching: Outside both = complement of union.

Q5 [2 marks]
Hypotenuse $= \sqrt{3^2+4^2}=5$ . $\sin\theta = \frac{3}{5}$ .
Teaching: $\sin = \text{opp}/\text{hyp}$ .

Q6 [2 marks]
Vertically opposite angle $= 68^\circ$ .
Teaching: Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Q7 [2 marks]
Arc $= \frac{72}{360} \times 2\pi(10) = 4\pi\text{ cm}$ .
Teaching: Arc length $= \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r$ .

Q8 [2 marks]
$AD:AB = 1:3$ . Area ratio $= (1/3)^2 = 1/9$ .
Area $ABC = 6 \div \frac{1}{9} = 54\text{ cm}^2$ .
Teaching: Similar triangles — area ratio = square of length ratio.

Section B

Q9 [3 marks]
(a) [2] $\angle OCD = 90^\circ$ (tangent ⊥ radius).
(b) [1] $\angle ACD = 90^\circ - 35^\circ = 55^\circ$ .

$\tan\theta = \frac{20}{12} = \frac{5}{3}$ . Tree height $= 9 \times \frac{5}{3} = 15\text{ m}$ .
Marking: 2 for ratio, 2 for height.
Teaching: Same sun angle → same tan.

Q11 [3 marks]
Others $= 180 - (90+45+30) = 15$ . Angle $= \frac{15}{180}\times 360^\circ = 30^\circ$ .
Teaching: Pie angle = freq/total × 360.

Marking: 2 pattern, 2 expression.

Section C

$\tan 30^\circ = \frac{TB}{50} \Rightarrow TB = 50 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 28.9\text{ m}$ .
Teaching: Angle of elevation, opposite = adj × tan.

Q16 [4 marks]
$\angle ACB = 90^\circ$ (angle in semicircle). $\angle CAB = 180 - 90 - (\frac{1}{2}\times 100) = 40^\circ$ using triangle sum with $\angle CBA = 50^\circ$ .
Marking: 2 each.
