MARKING SCHEME

Note:

B marks are for independent steps.
Follow-through marks (ft) are allowed where appropriate.

Section A

1. (a) Using Cosine Rule: $AC^2 = 12^2 + 9^2 - 2(12)(9)\cos(110^\circ)$ $AC^2 = 144 + 81 - 216(-0.3420)$ $AC^2 = 225 + 73.87 = 298.87$ $AC = \sqrt{298.87} = 17.288...$ Answer: $17.3$ cm [A1]

(b) Using Sine Rule: $\frac{\sin A}{9} = \frac{\sin 110^\circ}{17.288}$ $\sin A = \frac{9 \sin 110^\circ}{17.288} = 0.4895$ $A = \sin^{-1}(0.4895) = 29.31^\circ$ Answer: $29.3^\circ$ [A1]

2. (a) Triangle $OAB$ is isosceles ( $OA=OB$ radii). $\angle OAB = (180^\circ - 130^\circ) / 2 = 25^\circ$ Answer: $25^\circ$ [B1]

(b) Tangents are perpendicular to radius: $\angle OAT = \angle OBT = 90^\circ$ . Quadrilateral $OATB$ : Sum of angles = $360^\circ$ . $\angle ATB = 360^\circ - 90^\circ - 90^\circ - 130^\circ = 50^\circ$ Answer: $50^\circ$ [A1]

3. (a) Using Cosine Rule for $\angle Q$ : $\cos Q = \frac{8^2 + 10^2 - 12^2}{2(8)(10)}$ $\cos Q = \frac{64 + 100 - 144}{160} = \frac{20}{160} = 0.125$ Correction in Question Logic check: The question asks to show 0.35. Let's re-read the sides. $PQ=8, QR=10, PR=12$ . $\cos Q = \frac{8^2+10^2-12^2}{160} = \frac{20}{160} = 0.125$ . Note: The prompt template asked to "Show that... = 0.35". This implies specific numbers. Let's adjust the working to match a valid "Show that" or correct the question numbers in the key. Self-Correction for Key: If the question stated "Show that $\cos P = ...$ " or different sides. Let's assume the question intended $\cos P$ : $\cos P = \frac{8^2+12^2-10^2}{2(8)(12)} = \frac{64+144-100}{192} = \frac{108}{192} = 0.5625$ . Let's assume the question intended $\cos R$ : $\cos R = \frac{10^2+12^2-8^2}{2(10)(12)} = \frac{100+144-64}{240} = \frac{180}{240} = 0.75$ . Adjustment: The question in the paper text said "Show that $\cos \angle PQR = 0.35$ ". This is mathematically incorrect for sides 8,10,12. Fix for Answer Key: I will provide the correct calculation for the sides given in Q3 ( $8,10,12$ ) and note the discrepancy, or assume the sides were different. Let's assume the sides were $PQ=7, QR=8, PR=9$ . $\cos Q = \frac{49+64-81}{112} = \frac{32}{112} = 0.28$ . Let's stick to the generated question text but correct the "Show that" target in the key to the actual value. Actual $\cos Q = 0.125$ . Answer: $\cos Q = 0.125$ (Question text error noted: 0.35 is incorrect for these sides). Alternative: If the question meant $\angle P$ , $\cos P = 0.5625$ . For the purpose of this key, I will calculate the area based on the correct sine derived from the actual sides.

(b) $\sin Q = \sqrt{1 - 0.125^2} = \sqrt{1 - 0.015625} = 0.99215$ Area $= \frac{1}{2}(8)(10)\sin Q = 40(0.99215) = 39.686$ Answer: $39.7$ cm $^2$ [A1]

4. (a) Cyclic quad opposite angles sum to $180^\circ$ . $\angle BCD = 180^\circ - \angle DAB = 180^\circ - 75^\circ = 105^\circ$ Answer: $105^\circ$ [B1]

(b) $\angle ABC = 180^\circ - \angle ADC = 180^\circ - 105^\circ = 75^\circ$ Answer: $75^\circ$ [B1]

(c) $AB \parallel DC \implies \angle ACD = \angle BAC$ (alt angles). In $\triangle ADC$ : $\angle DAC = 180 - 105 - \angle ACD$ . Also $\angle DAB = 75$ . $\angle DAC = 75 - \angle BAC$ . Since $\angle BAC = \angle ACD$ , let this be $x$ . $\angle DAC = 75-x$ . Sum in $\triangle ADC$ : $(75-x) + 105 + x = 180$ . This is always true. We need to show $AD=DC$ or angles equal. $\angle BCA = \angle DAC$ ? No. Let's use the parallel property. $\angle BAC = \angle ACD$ (alt angles). In $\triangle ABC$ , $\angle B = 75, \angle BAC = x, \angle BCA = 180-75-x = 105-x$ . In $\triangle ADC$ , $\angle D = 105, \angle ACD = x, \angle DAC = 180-105-x = 75-x$ . Wait, $\angle DAB = 75$ . So $\angle DAC + \angle CAB = 75$ . $\angle DAC = 75 - x$ . Is $\triangle ADC$ isosceles? If $AD=DC$ , then $\angle DAC = \angle ACD \implies 75-x = x \implies 2x=75 \implies x=37.5$ . Is there evidence for this? The question asks to explain why. Perhaps $AB=BC$ ? No. Let's look at angles again. $\angle ADC = 105$ . $\angle DAB = 75$ . Since $AB \parallel DC$ , $ABCD$ is an isosceles trapezium? Base angles $\angle DAB = 75, \angle CBA = 75$ . Yes. Therefore diagonals are equal and $\triangle ADC \cong \triangle BCD$ . Also $AD = BC$ . In isosceles trapezium, $AD=BC$ . Does this make $\triangle ADC$ isosceles? Not necessarily. Re-evaluating Q4(c): "Explain why triangle ADC is isosceles." This implies $AD=DC$ or $AC=DC$ or $AD=AC$ . If $AB \parallel DC$ and $\angle DAB = 75, \angle ADC = 105$ , it is a standard trapezium. Unless $AD=DC$ is given or derived. Actually, if $\angle DAC = \angle ACD$ , then it is isosceles. $\angle ACD = \angle BAC$ (alt). So we need $\angle DAC = \angle BAC$ . i.e., $AC$ bisects $A$ . This happens if $AD=DC$ ? No, if $AD=AB$ ? Correction: There is insufficient info in the prompt Q4 to prove it is isosceles without extra data (e.g., $AD=AB$ or $AC$ bisects). Assumption for Key: The question likely implied $AD = AB$ or similar. Standard Exam Pattern: Often $AB=BC$ or $AD=DC$ . Let's assume the question meant "Show that triangle ABC is isosceles" if $AB=BC$ ? Given the ambiguity, I will provide the logic for if it were isosceles: "If $\angle DAC = \angle ACD$ , then $AD=DC$ . Since $\angle ACD = \angle BAC$ (alt angles), this requires $\angle DAC = \angle BAC$ , meaning $AC$ bisects $\angle A$ ."

5. (a) Angle $\angle ABC$ . Bearing $A \to B = 050^\circ$ . Back bearing $B \to A = 230^\circ$ . Bearing $B \to C = 140^\circ$ . $\angle ABC = 230^\circ - 140^\circ = 90^\circ$ . Triangle $ABC$ is right-angled at $B$ . $AC = \sqrt{40^2 + 30^2} = \sqrt{1600+900} = \sqrt{2500} = 50$ km. Answer: $50$ km [A1]

(b) $\tan(\angle BAC) = 30/40 = 0.75$ . $\angle BAC = 36.87^\circ$ . Bearing of $A$ from $B$ is $230^\circ$ . Bearing of $C$ from $B$ is $140^\circ$ . We need Bearing of $A$ from $C$ . Angle at $C$ : $\tan C = 40/30 \implies C = 53.13^\circ$ . Bearing $C \to B = 140 + 180 = 320^\circ$ . Bearing $C \to A = 320^\circ + 53.13^\circ = 373.13^\circ \equiv 13.1^\circ$ .

No, $G$ is above $C$ in standard labeling? Standard Cuboid: $ABCD$ base, $EFGH$ top. $E$ above $A$ , $F$ above $B$ , $G$ above $C$ , $H$ above $D$ . So $GC$ is vertical edge. The plane $ACG$ contains the diagonal $AC$ and vertical edge $GC$ . The angle between plane $ACG$ and base $ABCD$ is the angle between $GC$ and its projection on base? The projection of $G$ is $C$ . The intersection line is $AC$ . Wait, the angle between a plane containing a vertical line and the horizontal base is $90^\circ$ ? No, plane $ACG$ passes through $A, C, G$ . $G$ projects to $C$ . So the plane is vertical? Yes, $GC \perp$ Base. Any plane containing a vertical line is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Answer: $90^\circ$ [B1] Note: If the question meant plane $VAB$ in a pyramid, it's different. For a cuboid, plane $ACG$ is a diagonal slice. It is perpendicular to the base.

(c) Largest angle is opposite longest side ( $PR=15$ ). So $\angle Q$ . $\frac{\sin Q}{15} = \frac{\sin 40}{9.656}$ . $\sin Q = \frac{15 \sin 40}{9.656} = 0.998$ . $Q = \sin^{-1}(0.998) = 86.4^\circ$ or $93.6^\circ$ . Check sum: $40 + 86.4 + P = 180 \implies P = 53.6$ . Valid. Check cosine rule for Q: $\cos Q = \frac{12^2+9.66^2-15^2}{2(12)(9.66)} = \frac{144+93.3-225}{231.8} = \frac{12.3}{231.8} > 0$ . Acute.

(b) Tangent $AT \perp OA$ . $\angle OAT = 90^\circ$ . $\angle BAT = 90 - 35 = 55^\circ$ . Answer: $55^\circ$ [A1]

(c) In $\triangle OAT$ : $\angle AOT = 110^\circ$ ? No, $T$ is on $OB$ produced. $\angle AOB = 110^\circ$ . $\angle AOT = 110^\circ$ . Sum of angles in $\triangle OAT$ : $90 + 110 + T = 180$ ? Impossible. $T$ is on $OB$ produced. So $\angle AOT = 180 - 110 = 70^\circ$ ? No, $O, B, T$ are collinear. $\angle AOB = 110$ . In Right $\triangle OAT$ (right angled at A): $\angle AOT = 110^\circ$ ? No, $A, O, B$ form triangle. $T$ is on line $OB$ . Angle $\angle AOT$ is the angle at centre. If $T$ is on $OB$ produced, the angle inside the right triangle $\triangle OAT$ at $O$ is $180-110=70^\circ$ ? No, $A$ and $B$ are on circle. $T$ is intersection of tangent at $A$ and line $OB$ . $\triangle OAT$ is right angled at $A$ . Angle $\angle AOT = \angle AOB = 110^\circ$ ? No, sum of angles in triangle OAT must be 180. If $\angle AOB = 110$ , then $\angle AOT$ (exterior?) Line $OB$ passes through $O$ . Tangent at $A$ . Angle between Radius $OA$ and Line $OB$ is $110^\circ$ . In $\triangle OAT$ , angle at $A$ is $90^\circ$ . Angle at $O$ is $180-110=70^\circ$ (if $T$ is on the side such that $\angle AOT$ is supplementary)? Or is $\angle AOT = 110$ ? If $\angle AOT=110$ , sum $>180$ . So $\angle AOT$ must be $180-110=70^\circ$ ? This implies $T$ and $B$ are on opposite sides of $O$ ? "Line OB produced" usually means $O-B-T$ . If $O-B-T$ , then $\angle AOT = \angle AOB = 110^\circ$ . This forms an obtuse triangle? But tangent is perp to radius. $\triangle OAT$ is right angled at $A$ . So $\angle AOT$ must be acute. Therefore, the geometry implies $T$ is on the extension of $BO$ through $O$ ? Or $OB$ through $B$ ? If $O-B-T$ , $\angle AOT = 110$ . Impossible for right triangle. So $T$ must be on the extension of $BO$ past $O$ ? i.e. $T-O-B$ . Then $\angle AOT = 180-110 = 70^\circ$ . Then $\angle ATB = 90 - 70 = 20^\circ$ . Answer: $20^\circ$ [A1]

17. (a) $C = 180 - 45 - 75 = 60^\circ$ . Answer: $60^\circ$ [B1]

(b) $AC / \sin 75 = 10 / \sin 45$ . $AC = 10 \sin 75 / \sin 45 = 10(0.9659)/0.7071 = 13.66$ cm. Answer: $13.7$ cm [A1]

18. (a) Area: $\frac{1}{2}r^2\theta = 50 \implies r^2\theta = 100$ . Perimeter: $2r + r\theta = 30 \implies r(2+\theta) = 30$ . Answer: [B1 for each]

(b) From Perim: $\theta = \frac{30}{r} - 2$ . Sub into Area: $r^2(\frac{30}{r} - 2) = 100$ . $30r - 2r^2 = 100$ . $2r^2 - 30r + 100 = 0$ . $r^2 - 15r + 50 = 0$ . Answer: [A1]

(d) If $r=5$ , $5^2\theta = 100 \implies 25\theta = 100 \implies \theta = 4$ . Answer: $4$ [B1]

(c) Area Rect $= 8 \times 8 = 64$ . Area $\triangle ADE = 0.5(3)(8) = 12$ . Area $\triangle ABF$ : $AB=8, AF=4$ . Area $= 0.5(4)(8) = 16$ . Area $\triangle ECF$ : $EC=5, CF=8$ ? No, $F$ on $AB$ . $C$ is corner. Wait, $F$ on $AB$ . $E$ on $CD$ . Triangle $AEF$ vertices: $A(0,8), E(3,0), F(4,8)$ ? (Coord geom approach). Let $D=(0,0), A=(0,8), B=(8,8), C=(8,0)$ . $E$ on $CD$ : $DE=3 \implies E=(3,0)$ . $F$ on $AB$ : $AF=4 \implies F=(4,8)$ . Area $\triangle AEF$ : Base $AF$ is horizontal? No, $A=(0,8), F=(4,8)$ . Length 4. Height of $E$ from line $AB$ is $8$ . Area $= 0.5 \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} = 0.5(4)(8) = 16$ cm $^2$ . Answer: $16$ cm $^2$ [A1]

20. (a) Diagram: Horizontal line. $A$ at start. Slope $AB$ at $10^\circ$ . $B$ is higher. Vertical line $TH$ ? $T$ is top. Angles of elevation from $A$ ( $20^\circ$ ) and $B$ ( $35^\circ$ ). Answer: [B1 for shape, B1 for labels]

(b) In $\triangle ABT$ : $\angle TAB = 20^\circ - 10^\circ = 10^\circ$ . Angle of elevation from $B$ is $35^\circ$ relative to horizontal. Slope $AB$ is $10^\circ$ . So $\angle TBA = 180 - (35-10) = 155^\circ$ ? Let's use horizontal references. Horizontal at $B$ . Angle up to $T$ is $35^\circ$ . Angle down to $A$ is $10^\circ$ (alt int). So $\angle TBA = 180 - 35 + 10$ ? No. $\angle TBA = 180 - (35-10)$ ? Vector $BA$ is $10^\circ$ below horizontal (looking back). Vector $BT$ is $35^\circ$ above horizontal. Angle $\angle TBA = 180 - 35 - 10$ ? No. Angle $\angle ABT = 180 - 35 + 10$ ? Let's use Sine Rule on $\triangle ABT$ . $\angle BAT = 10^\circ$ . $\angle ATB = 35^\circ - 20^\circ = 15^\circ$ (Exterior angle theorem). $AB / \sin 15 = BT / \sin 10$ . $200 / \sin 15 = BT / \sin 10$ . $BT = 200 \sin 10 / \sin 15 = 200(0.1736)/0.2588 = 134.2$ m. Answer: $134$ m [A1]

(c) Vertical height of $B$ above $A$ : $h_B = 200 \sin 10 = 34.73$ m. Vertical height of $T$ above $B$ : $h_{TB} = BT \sin 35 = 134.2 \sin 35 = 76.98$ m. Total height $= 34.73 + 76.98 = 111.7$ m. Answer: $112$ m [A1]
