Q1. [2 marks]
$\sin \angle PQR = \frac{PR}{PQ} = \frac{5}{13}$
Teaching note: In right triangle $PQR$ with right angle at $R$, side opposite $\angle PQR$ is $PR = 5$, hypotenuse is $PQ = 13$. $\sin = \text{opposite}/\text{hypotenuse}$.
Common mistake: Using $QR$ instead of $PR$; first find $QR = 12$ via Pythagoras but not needed.

Q2. [2 marks]
Area total = $\pi \times 10^2 = 100\pi$
Area shaded = $\pi \times 6^2 = 36\pi$
$P = \frac{36\pi}{100\pi} = \frac{9}{25}$
Teaching note: Probability = area shaded / total area. Concentric circles, random point uniform.
Marking: 1 mark area calc, 1 mark final fraction.

Q3. [2 marks]
$\angle OAT = 90^\circ$
Teaching note: Radius $OA$ is perpendicular to tangent $AT$ at point of contact $A$. The $70^\circ$ is extra info.
Common mistake: Subtracting from $70^\circ$ wrongly.

Q4. [2 marks]
Linear scale factor $k = \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}$
Area scale factor = $k^2 = \frac{4}{25}$
Area $\triangle ABC = 75 \times \frac{4}{25} = 12$ cm²
Teaching note: Similar triangles: area ratio = (side ratio)².

Q5. [2 marks]
$(A \cup B)'$ or $A' \cap B'$
Teaching note: Outside both circles = complement of union = intersection of complements.

Q6. [4 marks total]
(a) [2] Height $h$: $h^2 + 3^2 = 5^2 \Rightarrow h = 4$ m.
(b) [2] $\cos \theta = 3/5 \Rightarrow \theta \approx 53.1^\circ$.
Teaching note: Pythagoras for (a); trig ratio for (b).
Marking: 2 each part.

Q7. [3 marks]
$AM = \sqrt{8^2 - 4^2} = \sqrt{48} = 4\sqrt{3}$
$AB = 2 \times AM = 8\sqrt{3}$ cm
Teaching note: Perpendicular from centre bisects chord. Right triangle OMA.
Marking: 1 for OM⊥AB property, 2 for calc.

Q8. [2 marks]
$\angle AOB = 2 \times 35^\circ = 70^\circ$
Teaching note: Angle at centre = twice angle at circumference subtending same arc.

Q9. [3 marks]
$\tan \theta = 20/12 = 5/3$
Tree height = $9 \times (5/3) = 15$ m
Teaching note: Same sun angle → same tan. Proportion.
Marking: 1 ratio, 2 height.

Q10. [3 marks]
Total = $12+8+4+6 = 30$
Football angle = $\frac{12}{30} \times 360^\circ = 144^\circ$
Teaching note: Pie angle = (freq/total)×360.
Marking: 1 total, 2 angle.

Q11. [3 marks]
Union area = $154 + 77 - 28 = 203$ cm²
$P = \frac{28}{203} = \frac{4}{29}$
Teaching note: Union = sum minus overlap to avoid double count.
Marking: 1 union, 2 prob.

Q12. [2 marks]
$\angle ADC = 180^\circ - 100^\circ = 80^\circ$
Teaching note: Opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral supplementary.

Q13. [3 marks]
(a) [2] $7^2+24^2 = 49+576 = 625 = 25^2$ ✓
(b) [1] $\cos = \frac{7}{25}$ (adj/hyp for angle opp 24)
Teaching note: Pythagoras converse; cos = adj/hyp.

Q14. [3 marks]
$AD:AB = 2:5$
Area ratio = $(2/5)^2 = 4/25$
Area ABC = $8 \div (4/25) = 50$ cm²
Teaching note: DE∥BC → similar; area ratio square of length ratio.

Q15. [3 marks]
Displacement: north 8, east 6 → tan $\theta = 6/8 = 3/4$, $\theta = 36.9^\circ$ east of north
Bearing = $036.9^\circ$ or $037^\circ$
Teaching note: Bearing measured clockwise from north.
Marking: 1 diagram, 2 bearing.

Q16. [3 marks]
$\angle OAB = 40^\circ$ (tan-chord theorem: angle between tangent and chord = angle in alt segment, but here use triangle)
Actually: $OA \perp AT$ so $\angle OAT = 90^\circ$, thus $\angle OAB = 90^\circ - 40^\circ = 50^\circ$
$\triangle OAB$ isosceles ($OA=OB$) → $\angle OBA = 50^\circ$
$\angle AOB = 180^\circ - 100^\circ = 80^\circ$
Teaching note: Radius-tangent perpendicular; isosceles triangle.
Marking: 1 each step.

Q17. [3 marks]
Sequence: 3,5,7 → first diff 2 → linear $2n + b$
$n=1$: $2+b=3 \Rightarrow b=1$ → $2n+1$
Teaching note: Constant first difference → $an+b$.
Marking: 1 pattern, 2 formula.

Q18. [2 marks]
$\tan 45^\circ = h/\text{shadow} = 1 \Rightarrow$ shadow = $30$ m
Teaching note: tan45=1, height = shadow length.

Q19. [2 marks]
$A \cap B$
Teaching note: Only intersection shaded.

Q20. [4 marks total]
(a) [2] $h = \sqrt{5^2 - 3^2} = 4$ cm
