Section A: Short Answer Questions

Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are interior angles? No, $BD \parallel CE$ .
Alternative: Angle $ABC = 180^\circ$ .
Angle $CBD = 180 - 58 - \text{angle } DBC$ ? No.
Extend line or use alternate angles.
Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are co-interior if we consider transversal $BC$ ? No.
Let's use parallel lines properties. Draw line through $B$ parallel to $CE$ (which is $BD$ ).
Actually, simpler: Angle $ABD + \text{Angle } DBC + \text{Angle } CBE$ ? No.
Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ : If we extend $CB$ to $X$ , Angle $XBD = 58$ (vertically opposite? No).
Correct logic: Angle $ABD = 58^\circ$ . Since $ABC$ is a line, Angle $DBC = 180 - 58 - \text{Angle } ?$ No.
$BD \parallel CE$ . Transversal $BC$ . Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are consecutive interior angles (co-interior) ONLY if $BD$ and $CE$ are parallel and $BC$ is transversal? No, $BC$ connects them.
Let's use alternate interior angles. Extend $AB$ . Or simpler: Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are not directly related by standard names without a Z or C shape. Draw a line through $B$ parallel to $CE$ ? $BD$ is already parallel. Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ : Consider transversal $BC$ . Angle $DBC$ and Angle $BCE$ are co-interior? No. Let's look at the Z-shape or F-shape. Actually, Angle $ABD = 58$ . Angle $ABC = 180$ . Angle $DBC = 180 - 58 - \text{Angle } ?$ Wait, $BD \parallel CE$ . Angle $DBC = \text{Angle } BCE$ ? No. Angle $DBC + \text{Angle } BCE = 180$ ? (Co-interior). If $BD \parallel CE$ , then Angle $DBC + \text{Angle } BCE = 180^\circ$ . Angle $DBC = 180 - 112 = 68^\circ$ . Check: Is $BC$ the transversal between parallel lines $BD$ and $CE$ ? Yes. Are they co-interior? Yes, they are on the same side of transversal $BC$ and between the parallels. Answer: $68^\circ$ Marks: [1] for $180 - 112$ , [1] for 68.

Interior angle of regular hexagon = $\frac{(6-2) \times 180}{6} = 120^\circ$ . So Angle $BCD = 120^\circ$ .
Interior angle of square = $90^\circ$ . So Angle $BCG = 90^\circ$ .
Angles at a point $C$ : Angle $BCD + \text{Angle } BCG + \text{Angle } GCD = 360^\circ$ ? No, they are adjacent.
The diagram usually implies they are outside each other or attached. "Attached to side BC".
Angle $HCD$ ? $H$ is a vertex of the square. $D$ is a vertex of the hexagon.
Angle $BCD = 120^\circ$ . Angle $BCH = 90^\circ$ .
Angle $HCD = 360 - 120 - 90 = 150^\circ$ (if they don't overlap and fill the space around C? No, usually they are on the outside).
If the square is outside the hexagon: Angle $HCD = \text{Angle } HCB + \text{Angle } BCD = 90 + 120 = 210$ ? No, that's reflex.
Usually, we look for the angle inside the gap or the combined angle.
Assuming standard "attached externally": Angle $HCD$ refers to the angle between side $CH$ and $CD$ .
Angle around $C = 360^\circ$ . Angle $BCD = 120^\circ$ . Angle $BCH = 90^\circ$ .
Angle $HCD = 360 - 120 - 90 = 150^\circ$ . Answer: $150^\circ$ Marks: [1] for Hex angle 120, [1] for $360-120-90=150$ .

Pythagoras: $AC^2 = 7^2 + 11^2 = 49 + 121 = 170$ .
$AC = \sqrt{170} \approx 13.038$ . Answer: $13.0$ cm Marks: [1] for substitution, [1] for 13.0.

Area = $\frac{1}{2} ab \sin C = \frac{1}{2} (8)(10) \sin 65^\circ$ .
Area = $40 \sin 65^\circ \approx 40(0.9063) = 36.25$ . Answer: $36.3$ cm $^2$ Marks: [1] for formula/substitution, [1] for 36.3.

$\cos \theta = \frac{\text{Adj}}{\text{Hyp}} = \frac{2.5}{6}$ .
$\theta = \cos^{-1}(\frac{2.5}{6}) \approx 65.37^\circ$ . Answer: $65.4^\circ$ Marks: [1] for cos ratio, [1] for 65.4.

Distance = $\sqrt{(8-2)^2 + (1-5)^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{36+16} = \sqrt{52}$ .
$\sqrt{52} \approx 7.211$ . Answer: $7.21$ Marks: [1] for substitution, [1] for 7.21.

Quadrilateral $OATB$ . Angles at $A$ and $B$ are $90^\circ$ (tangent-radius).
Sum of angles = $360^\circ$ .
Angle $ATB = 360 - 90 - 90 - 130 = 50^\circ$ . Answer: $50^\circ$ Marks: [1] for $90+90+130$ , [1] for 50.

Opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral sum to $180^\circ$ .
Angle $ABC + \text{Angle } ADC = 180^\circ$ .
Angle $ABC = 180 - 100 = 80^\circ$ . Answer: $80^\circ$ Marks: [1] for property, [1] for 80.

Area = $\frac{\theta}{360} \pi r^2 = \frac{75}{360} \pi (12^2)$ .
Area = $\frac{5}{24} \pi (144) = 5 \pi (6) = 30\pi$ .
$30 \times 3.142 = 94.26$ . Answer: $94.3$ cm $^2$ Marks: [1] for substitution, [1] for 94.3.

10.

$DE = k \times BC = 2.5 \times 6 = 15$ . Answer: $15$ cm Marks: [1] for scale factor, [1] for 15.

11.

Check Pythagoras: $12^2 + 9^2 = 144 + 81 = 225$ .
$15^2 = 225$ .
Since $12^2 + 9^2 = 15^2$ , it is right-angled.
The right angle is opposite the hypotenuse ( $XZ$ ). So Angle $XYZ = 90^\circ$ . Answer: Right-angled at $Y$ (or $XYZ$ ) Marks: [1] for verification, [1] for identifying angle Y.

12.

Curved Surface Area = $\pi r l = \pi (5)(13) = 65\pi$ .
$65 \times 3.142 = 204.23$ . Answer: $204$ cm $^2$ Marks: [1] for formula, [1] for 204.

13.

Back bearing = Forward bearing + $180^\circ$ (if $< 180$ ).
$55 + 180 = 235^\circ$ . Answer: $235^\circ$ Marks: [1] for method, [1] for 235.

14.

Triangle $OAC$ is isosceles ( $OA=OC$ radii).
Angle $OCA = \text{Angle } OAC = 25^\circ$ .
Angle $AOC = 180 - 25 - 25 = 130^\circ$ .
Angle at circumference $ABC$ ?
Wait, $B$ is on the major or minor arc? Usually, if not specified, assume standard position.
Angle at centre $AOC = 130^\circ$ .
Angle at circumference $ABC = \frac{1}{2} \text{Angle } AOC$ ?
If $B$ is on the major arc, Angle $ABC = 130 / 2 = 65^\circ$ .
If $B$ is on the minor arc, Angle $ABC = 180 - 65 = 115^\circ$ (cyclic quad with point on major arc).
Standard convention: "Angle $ABC$ " usually implies $B$ is on the major arc unless diagram shows otherwise. Given $OAC=25$ , $AOC=130$ . Reflex $AOC = 230$ . Angle $ABC = 230/2 = 115$ ?
Let's check the position. $O$ is centre. $A,C$ on circle. $B$ on circle.
If $B$ is on the major arc, Angle $ABC = 65^\circ$ .
If $B$ is on the minor arc, Angle $ABC = 115^\circ$ .
Without a diagram, "Angle $ABC$ " typically refers to the angle subtended by the minor arc $AC$ at the major arc.
However, if $OAC=25$ , triangle $OAC$ is "flat".
Let's assume $B$ is on the major arc (standard). Answer: $65^\circ$ Marks: [1] for Angle $AOC=130$ , [1] for halving to 65. (Accept 115 if reasoning for minor arc is clear).

15.

Total Surface Area = $2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$ .
$2\pi(4^2) + 2\pi(4)(10) = 32\pi + 80\pi = 112\pi$ .
$112 \times 3.142 = 351.904$ . Answer: $352$ cm $^2$ Marks: [1] for areas, [1] for sum, [1] for 352.

(b) Slant edge $VA$ .

$M$ is midpoint of $AC$ . $AM = \frac{14.14}{2} = 7.07$ (or $5\sqrt{2}$ ).
Triangle $VMA$ is right-angled at $M$ .
$VA = \sqrt{VM^2 + AM^2} = \sqrt{12^2 + (5\sqrt{2})^2} = \sqrt{144 + 50} = \sqrt{194}$ .
$\sqrt{194} \approx 13.928$ . Answer: $13.9$ cm Marks: [1] for finding AM, [1] for Pythagoras on VMA, [1] for 13.9.

This is angle $VAM$ .
$\tan(VAM) = \frac{VM}{AM} = \frac{12}{5\sqrt{2}} \approx \frac{12}{7.071} \approx 1.697$ .
Angle = $\tan^{-1}(1.697) \approx 59.5^\circ$ . Answer: $59.5^\circ$ Marks: [1] for trig ratio, [1] for 59.5.

17. Triangle $ABC$ . $c=14, b=9, A=48^\circ$ .

(a) Length $BC$ (side $a$ ).

Cosine Rule: $a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A$ .
$a^2 = 9^2 + 14^2 - 2(9)(14) \cos 48^\circ$ .
$a^2 = 81 + 196 - 252(0.6691) = 277 - 168.62 = 108.38$ .
$a = \sqrt{108.38} \approx 10.41$ . Answer: $10.4$ cm Marks: [1] for formula, [1] for substitution, [1] for 10.4.

(b) Angle $ABC$ (Angle $B$ ).

Sine Rule: $\frac{\sin B}{b} = \frac{\sin A}{a}$ .
$\sin B = \frac{9 \sin 48^\circ}{10.41} = \frac{9(0.7431)}{10.41} = \frac{6.688}{10.41} \approx 0.6424$ .
$B = \sin^{-1}(0.6424) \approx 39.97^\circ$ . Answer: $40.0^\circ$ Marks: [1] for Sine Rule setup, [1] for calculation, [1] for 40.0.

18. Rectangle 10x6. Semi-circle on AB (length 10). Radius = 5.

Area Rect = $10 \times 6 = 60$ .
Area Semi-circle = $\frac{1}{2} \pi (5^2) = 12.5\pi \approx 39.27$ .
Shaded Area = $60 - 39.27 = 20.73$ . Answer: $20.7$ cm $^2$ Marks: [1] for Rect area, [1] for Semi-circle area, [1] for subtraction.

(b) Perimeter of shaded region.

Perimeter consists of: Side $AD$ (6) + Side $DC$ (10) + Side $CB$ (6) + Arc $AB$ .
Note: Side $AB$ is removed/replaced by the arc.
Arc Length = $\frac{1}{2} \pi d = \frac{1}{2} \pi (10) = 5\pi \approx 15.71$ .
Total Perimeter = $6 + 10 + 6 + 15.71 = 37.71$ . Answer: $37.7$ cm Marks: [1] for straight sides sum (22), [1] for arc length, [1] for total.

19. Tower $TF=h$ . $A, B, F$ collinear. $AB=50$ . Angles $30^\circ, 45^\circ$ .

(a) Express $AF, BF$ .

In $\triangle TFA$ : $\tan 30^\circ = \frac{h}{AF} \Rightarrow AF = \frac{h}{\tan 30^\circ} = h\sqrt{3}$ or $\frac{h}{0.577}$ .
In $\triangle TFB$ : $\tan 45^\circ = \frac{h}{BF} \Rightarrow BF = \frac{h}{\tan 45^\circ} = h$ . Answer: $AF = h\sqrt{3}$ (or $1.732h$ ), $BF = h$ Marks: [1] for each.

(b) Solve for $h$ .

$AF - BF = AB$ (Since angle at A is smaller, A is further away).
$h\sqrt{3} - h = 50$ .
$h(\sqrt{3} - 1) = 50$ .
$h = \frac{50}{\sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{50}{1.732 - 1} = \frac{50}{0.732} \approx 68.3$ . Answer: $68.3$ m Marks: [1] for equation, [1] for algebraic isolation, [1] for substitution, [1] for 68.3.

(b) Express $OM$ .

Radius $ON = r$ . $MN = 4$ .
$OM = r - 4$ . Answer: $r - 4$ Marks: [1] for $r-4$ .

In $\triangle OMP$ : $OM^2 + MP^2 = OP^2$ .
$MP = \frac{16}{2} = 8$ . $OP = r$ .
$(r-4)^2 + 8^2 = r^2$ .
$r^2 - 8r + 16 + 64 = r^2$ .
$-8r + 80 = 0$ .
$8r = 80 \Rightarrow r = 10$ . Answer: $10$ cm Marks: [1] for Pythagoras setup, [1] for expansion, [1] for solving linear eq, [1] for 10.
