$PR^2 = PQ^2 + QR^2 - 2(PQ)(QR)\cos \angle PQR$
$PR^2 = 14^2 + 18^2 - 2(14)(18)\cos 65^\circ$
$PR^2 = 196 + 324 - 504 \times 0.4226$

$\cos \angle ABC = \frac{10^2 + 8^2 - 12^2}{2 \times 10 \times 8}$
$\cos \angle ABC = \frac{100 + 64 - 144}{160} = \frac{20}{160} = 0.125$

Using sine rule: $\frac{YZ}{\sin X} = \frac{XZ}{\sin Y}$
$\frac{YZ}{\sin 48^\circ} = \frac{15}{\sin 72^\circ}$
$YZ = \frac{15 \times \sin 48^\circ}{\sin 72^\circ} = \frac{15 \times 0.7431}{0.9511} = 11.7$ cm (to 3 s.f.) ✓

Answer: Let $a = 80$, $b = 100$, $c = 120$
Semi-perimeter $s = \frac{80 + 100 + 120}{2} = 150$ m

Using Heron's formula:
Area $= \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$
Area $= \sqrt{150(150-80)(150-100)(150-120)}$
Area $= \sqrt{150 \times 70 \times 50 \times 30}$
Area $= \sqrt{15,750,000}$
Area $= 3970$ m$^2$ (to 3 s.f.) ✓

Alternative method: Use cosine rule to find one angle, then $\frac{1}{2}ab\sin C$.
$\cos C = \frac{80^2 + 100^2 - 120^2}{2 \times 80 \times 100} = \frac{6400 + 10000 - 14400}{16000} = \frac{2000}{16000} = 0.125$
$C = 82.82^\circ$
Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times 80 \times 100 \times \sin 82.82^\circ = 4000 \times 0.9922 = 3970$ m$^2$ ✓

Angle $= 245^\circ - 155^\circ = 90^\circ$
So $\angle PQR = 90^\circ$

Using Pythagoras: $PR = \sqrt{12^2 + 9^2} = \sqrt{144 + 81} = \sqrt{225} = 15$ km ✓

Marking: M1 for finding $\angle PQR = 90^\circ$; M1 for applying Pythagoras/cosine rule; A1 for correct distance.

Answer: In $\triangle PQR$: $\angle QPR = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 37^\circ = 53^\circ$
In $\triangle OPR$, $OP = OR$ (radii), so $\triangle OPR$ is isosceles.
$\angle OPR = \angle ORP$
$\angle POR = 180^\circ - 2 \times 53^\circ$? No.

Alternative: $\angle POR = 2 \times \angle PQR = 2 \times 37^\circ = 74^\circ$ (angle at centre)

Therefore, $\angle BDC = \angle BAC = 30^\circ$ ✓

Alternatively: In $\triangle ACX$, $\angle ACX = 180^\circ - 85^\circ - 30^\circ = 65^\circ$
$\angle ACD = 65^\circ$, and $\angle ABD = \angle ACD$ (angles in same segment)

$\angle POR = \angle POQ + \angle QOR = 80^\circ + 120^\circ = 200^\circ$ (reflex angle)
The angle at circumference uses the reflex angle: $\angle PQR = \frac{1}{2} \times 200^\circ = 100^\circ$

Alternatively, using the other arc: minor arc $PR$ subtends $360^\circ - 200^\circ = 160^\circ$ at centre, so $\angle PQR = 180^\circ - \frac{160^\circ}{2} = 100^\circ$ ✓
