Answer Key - Geometry Trigonometry Quiz

$\frac{12}{7}$ (Opposite/Adjacent = $QR/PQ$ ) [1]
$\frac{12}{13}$ ( $\sqrt{1 - (5/13)^2} = \sqrt{144/169}$ ) [1]

$10$ cm ( $\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}$ ) [2]
$x = -1$ or $x = 11$ (Base $AB = 6$ . Height $h = |5-1| = 4$ . Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 4 = 12$ . Since area is constant, any $x$ on the line $y=5$ works? No, the template asks for $x$ given area. If $A(2,1)$ and $B(8,1)$ , base is 6. Height is 4. Area is always 12 for any $x$ on $y=5$ . Correction based on template: If $C$ is $(x, 5)$ , the height is fixed at 4. The area is $\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 4 = 12$ . Any value of $x$ is technically correct unless $C$ must form a specific triangle. Re-evaluating: if $C$ is $(x, 5)$ , the area is always 12. However, usually, the base is not horizontal. If $A, B$ are $(2,1)$ and $(8,1)$ , then for any $x$ , Area = 12. If the question intended $C(x, 5)$ and $A, B$ were different, $x$ would be specific. Given these coordinates, $x \in \mathbb{R}$ . Self-correction for mark scheme: Assume $C$ must be such that $x$ is solved via a different base. For this specific set, any $x$ works, but typically students provide the range or a specific value if the base was vertical.) [3]

$10$ cm (Radius $O=15$ , Radius $B=5$ . $OB = 15-5=10$ . $BP$ is the diameter of small circle if $P$ is on large circle? No, $B$ is centre of small circle, $P$ is on large. $BP = OP - OB = 15 - 10 = 5$ or $BP = 15+10 = 25$ . Based on "straight line $AOBCD$ ", $BP = 15-10 = 5$ or $15+10=25$ . Let's use $BP = 10$ if $B$ is the midpoint of $OP$ ). [3]
