Section A (1 mark each)

Q1. $90^\circ$
Teaching note: Angle sum of triangle = $180^\circ$. $180 - 35 - 55 = 90$. Common mistake: forgetting sum is $180^\circ$.

Q2. $720^\circ$
Teaching note: Sum = $(n-2) \times 180 = (6-2) \times 180 = 720$.

Q3. $72^\circ$
Teaching note: Corresponding angles on parallel lines are equal.

Q4. $\frac{4}{5}$
Teaching note: Right triangle sides 3,4,5. $\cos = \text{adj}/\text{hyp} = 4/5$.

Q5. $180$
Teaching note: Angles on a straight line sum to $180^\circ$.

Q6. $80^\circ$
Teaching note: $180 - 40 - 60 = 80$.

Q7. $50^\circ$
Teaching note: Alternate angles between parallel lines are equal.

Q8. 12
Teaching note: $360 \div 30 = 12$ sides.

Q9. 13
Teaching note: Pythagoras: $\sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{169} = 13$.

Q10. equal
Teaching note: Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Section B (2 marks each)

Q11. $70^\circ$, reason: co-interior angles sum to $180^\circ$ (or $AEF + EFD = 180$).
Working: $180 - 110 = 70$.
Marking: 1 mark angle, 1 mark reason.

Q12. $3^2+4^2=9+16=25=5^2$, hypotenuse = 5 cm.
Teaching note: Pythagoras $a^2+b^2=c^2$. Since equal, right-angled.
Marking: 1 mark working, 1 mark hypotenuse.

Q13. $\sin\theta = 8/10 = 0.8$, $\theta \approx 53^\circ$.
Working: $\sin\theta = 8/10 = 0.8 \Rightarrow \theta = \sin^{-1}(0.8) \approx 53^\circ$.
Marking: 1 mark sin, 1 mark angle.

Q14. $(n-2)\times180=1080 \Rightarrow n-2=6 \Rightarrow n=8$.
Marking: 1 mark steps, 1 mark answer.

Q15. $65^\circ$ (corresponding).
Marking: 1 mark angle, 1 mark identification.

Q16. $h = \sqrt{5^2-3^2} = \sqrt{16} = 4$ cm.
Marking: 1 mark working, 1 mark answer.

Marking: 1+1+1 for values and reasons.

Q19. Sides = $360/24 = 15$. Interior = $180-24 = 156^\circ$. Sum = $15\times156 = 2340^\circ$.
Marking: 1 each.

Q20. $\tan 30 = h/15 \Rightarrow h = 15/\sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3} \approx 8.66$ m.
