Section A Answers (16 marks)

Q1 [2]
$\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$.
Teaching note: From special angles, $\sin 30^\circ$ is opposite/hypotenuse in a 30-60-90 triangle = 1/2.

Q2 [2]
$\angle ABC = 60^\circ$.
Method: Angle at centre = 2 × angle at circumference subtended by same arc. $120^\circ / 2 = 60^\circ$.

Q3 [2]
$\cos \theta = 4/5$.
Method: $\theta$ opposite 3 cm side → adjacent = 4 cm, hypotenuse = 5 cm. $\cos = \text{adj}/\text{hyp} = 4/5$.

Q4 [2]
$(A \cup B)'$ or $A' \cap B'$.
Teaching note: Shaded is outside both A and B → complement of union.

Q5 [2]
$P = \frac{\pi \times 5^2}{\pi \times 10^2} = \frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4}$.
Method: Area ratio of concentric circles.

Q6 [2]
$\angle OCD = 90^\circ$.
Reason: Radius perpendicular to tangent at point of contact.

Q7 [2]
$x = 8 / \sin 45^\circ = 8 / (\sqrt{2}/2) = 8\sqrt{2}$ cm.
Method: $\sin 45^\circ = \text{opp}/\text{hyp}$ → hyp = opp / sin45.

Q8 [2]
$h = 12 \times \tan 30^\circ = 12 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = 4\sqrt{3}$ m.
Method: $\tan = \text{opp}/\text{adj}$.

Q12 [4]
Use cosine rule on triangle with included angle $150-60=90^\circ$: $d = \sqrt{8^2+6^2} = 10$ km.
