4. Find the bearing of port C from port A.
Answer: 098.7° (or 099° to nearest degree)
Working:
Using vector approach or cosine/sine rules:
- AB = 120 km at 065°
- BC = 90 km at 155°
- Angle ABC = 155° - 65° = 90° (difference in bearings)
- AC² = 120² + 90² = 14400 + 8100 = 22500
- AC = 150 km
- tan(∠BAC) = 90/120 = 0.75
- ∠BAC = 36.87°

OT² = OX² + TX² = 5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169
OT = 13 cm
Marking:
- M1: Recognition of right angle between tangent and radius, then Pythagoras
- A1: 13 cm (units required)
8. Calculate the length of DF.
Answer: 13.9 cm (or 13.89 cm)
Working:
Using cosine rule: DF² = DE² + EF² - 2(DE)(EF) cos ∠DEF
DF² = 7² + 9² - 2(7)(9) cos 120°
= 49 + 81 - 126 × (-0.5)

9. Triangle ABC with AB = 10 cm, BC = 14 cm, ∠ABC = 60°.
(a) Calculate AC. [2]
Answer: 12.5 cm (or 12.49 cm)
Working:
AC² = AB² + BC² - 2(AB)(BC) cos ∠ABC
= 10² + 14² - 2(10)(14) cos 60°
= 100 + 196 - 280 × 0.5
= 296 - 140 = 156
AC = √156 = 12.489... ≈ 12.5 cm
Marking: M1 correct cosine rule substitution; A1 12.5 cm
(b) Calculate area of triangle ABC. [2]
Answer: 60.6 cm² (or 60.62 cm²)
Working:
Area = ½ × AB × BC × sin ∠ABC
= ½ × 10 × 14 × sin 60°
= 70 × 0.8660... = 60.62... ≈ 60.6 cm²
Marking: M1 correct area formula; A1 60.6 cm²
(c) Find ∠BAC. [2]
Answer: 76.1° (or 76.0°)
Working:
Using sine rule: sin(∠BAC) / BC = sin(∠ABC) / AC
sin(∠BAC) / 14 = sin 60° / 12.489
sin(∠BAC) = 14 × 0.8660 / 12.489 = 0.9707
∠BAC = sin⁻¹(0.9707) = 76.07...° ≈ 76.1°
Marking: M1 correct sine rule application; A1 76.1°
10. Circle with centre O, AC diameter, ∠BAC = 38°.
(a) Explain why ∠ABC = 90°. [1]
Answer: Angle in a semicircle is a right angle (or angle subtended by a diameter is 90°).
Marking: A1 correct geometric reason
(b) Find ∠BCA. [1]
Answer: 52°
Working:
In triangle ABC: ∠BCA = 180° - 90° - 38° = 52°
Marking: A1 52°
(c) Find ∠ADC. [2]
Answer: 128°
Working:
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral (all points on circle).
Opposite angles sum to 180°.
∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°
∠ADC + 90° = 180°
∠ADC = 90°
Wait — check: ∠ABC = 90°, so ∠ADC = 180° - 90° = 90°?
Re-check: In cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles sum to 180°. ∠ABC and ∠ADC are opposite.
∠ADC = 180° - 90° = 90°
But also: ∠ADC subtends arc AC (same as ∠ABC). Actually, ∠ABC = 90° (angle in semicircle). ∠ADC also subtends arc AC but from the other side. Since AC is a diameter, ∠ADC = 90° as well.
Answer: 90°
Marking: M1 recognition of cyclic quadrilateral or angle in semicircle; A1 90°
11. Flagpole problem.
(a) Write two equations involving h and d. [2]
Answer:
tan 42° = h/d
tan 28° = h/(d + 15)
Marking: B1 each correct equation (2 marks total)
(b) Calculate the height of the flagpole. [3]
Answer: 17.4 m (or 17.4 m)
Working:
From (a): h = d tan 42° and h = (d + 15) tan 28°
d tan 42° = (d + 15) tan 28°
d(0.9004) = (d + 15)(0.5317)
0.9004d = 0.5317d + 7.9755
0.3687d = 7.9755
d = 21.63... m
h = 21.63 × tan 42° = 21.63 × 0.9004 = 19.48... m
Wait — recalculate with more precision:
tan 42° = 0.900404...
tan 28° = 0.531709...
d(0.900404) = (d + 15)(0.531709)
0.900404d = 0.531709d + 7.975635
0.368695d = 7.975635
d = 21.632...
h = 21.632 × 0.900404 = 19.48... ≈ 19.5 m
Answer: 19.5 m
Marking: M1 equating expressions for h; M1 solving for d; A1 19.5 m
12. Quadrilateral ABCD.
(a) Calculate AC. [2]
Answer: 10 cm

In right-angled triangle ABC:
AC² = AB² + BC² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100
AC = 10 cm
Marking: M1 Pythagoras; A1 10 cm
(b) Calculate ∠ADC. [3]
Answer: 67.4° (or 67.4°)
Working:
In triangle ADC: AD = 7 cm, CD = 10 cm, AC = 10 cm
Using cosine rule: cos ∠ADC = (AD² + CD² - AC²) / (2 × AD × CD)
= (7² + 10² - 10²) / (2 × 7 × 10)
= (49 + 100 - 100) / 140
= 49/140 = 0.35
∠ADC = cos⁻¹(0.35) = 69.51...°
Wait — recalculate:
cos ∠ADC = (AD² + CD² - AC²) / (2·AD·CD)
= (49 + 100 - 100) / (2 × 7 × 10) = 49/140 = 0.35
∠ADC = cos⁻¹(0.35) = 69.51...° ≈ 69.5°
Answer: 69.5°
Marking: M1 correct cosine rule; M1 correct substitution; A1 69.5°
13. Triangle PQR with sides 15, 18, 12 cm.
(a) Find the largest angle. [3]
Answer: 82.8° (or 82.8°)
Working:
Largest angle is opposite longest side (18 cm), which is ∠P (opposite QR).
Using cosine rule: cos P = (PQ² + PR² - QR²) / (2 × PQ × PR)
= (15² + 12² - 18²) / (2 × 15 × 12)
= (225 + 144 - 324) / 360
= 45/360 = 0.125
∠P = cos⁻¹(0.125) = 82.819...° ≈ 82.8°
Marking: M1 identifying largest angle; M1 correct cosine rule; A1 82.8°
(b) Calculate area. [2]
Answer: 89.8 cm² (or 89.8 cm²)
Working:
Area = ½ × PQ × PR × sin P
= ½ × 15 × 12 × sin 82.819°
= 90 × 0.99216... = 89.29... ≈ 89.3 cm²
Answer: 89.3 cm²
Marking: M1 correct area formula; A1 89.3 cm²
14. Similar triangles ABC and CDE.
(a) Explain why triangles are similar. [2]
Answer:
∠ACB = ∠DCE (vertically opposite angles)
∠ABC = ∠CDE (alternate angles, AB ∥ DE)
Therefore, triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AA (angle-angle) criterion.
Marking: M1 identifying one pair of equal angles with reason; M1 second pair and stating AA criterion
(b) Calculate CE. [2]
Answer: 20 cm
Working:
From similarity: AB/DE = BC/CD = AC/CE
We know AB = 6, BC = 8, AC = 10, CD = 12.
First find DE: AB/DE = BC/CD → 6/DE = 8/12 → DE = 9 cm
Then: AC/CE = BC/CD → 10/CE = 8/12 → CE = 15 cm
Wait — check ratio:
Scale factor from ABC to CDE: CD/BC = 12/8 = 1.5
So CE = AC × 1.5 = 10 × 1.5 = 15 cm
Answer: 15 cm
Marking: M1 correct ratio; A1 15 cm
(c) Ratio of areas. [1]
Answer: 4 : 9 (or 4/9)
Working:
Area ratio = (scale factor)² = (BC/CD)² = (8/12)² = (2/3)² = 4/9
So area of ABC : area of CDE = 4 : 9
Marking: A1 4 : 9
15. Regular pentagon in circle of radius 8 cm.
(a) Angle subtended at centre by one side. [1]
Answer: 72°
Working:
360° / 5 = 72°
Marking: A1 72°
(b) Length of one side. [3]
Answer: 9.40 cm (or 9.40 cm)
Working:
Using cosine rule in isosceles triangle with two radii (8 cm) and included angle 72°:
Side² = 8² + 8² - 2(8)(8) cos 72°
= 64 + 64 - 128 × 0.309017
= 128 - 39.554 = 88.446
Side = √88.446 = 9.404... ≈ 9.40 cm
Marking: M1 recognition of isosceles triangle; M1 correct cosine rule; A1 9.40 cm
(c) Area of pentagon. [2]
Answer: 152 cm² (or 152 cm²)
Working:
Area = 5 × area of one isosceles triangle
Area of one triangle = ½ × 8 × 8 × sin 72°

Answer: 11.2 cm (or 11.18 cm)
Working:
AG² = AB² + BC² + AE² = 8² + 6² + 5² = 64 + 36 + 25 = 125
AG = √125 = 5√5 = 11.180... ≈ 11.2 cm
Marking: M1 correct 3D Pythagoras; A1 11.2 cm
(b) Angle between AG and base ABCD. [2]
Answer: 26.6° (or 26.6°)
Working:
The projection of AG onto the base is AC.
AC² = AB² + BC² = 8² + 6² = 100, so AC = 10 cm
Let θ be the angle between AG and base.
tan θ = AE / AC = 5/10 = 0.5
θ = tan⁻¹(0.5) = 26.565...° ≈ 26.6°
Marking: M1 identifying right triangle with height and base diagonal; A1 26.6°

Marking: A1 1080 cm³ (accept 1080 or 1083)
(c) Total surface area. [3]
Answer: 837 cm² (or 837 cm²)
Working:
Two triangular faces: 2 × 43.301 = 86.602 cm²
Three rectangular faces: 3 × (10 × 25) = 750 cm²
Total surface area = 86.602 + 750 = 836.602 ≈ 837 cm²
Marking: M1 area of two triangles; M1 area of three rectangles; A1 837 cm²
18. Triangle ABC right-angled at B, BD ⊥ AC.
(a) Calculate BD. [3]
Answer: 7.2 cm
Working:
Area of triangle ABC = ½ × AB × BC = ½ × 9 × 12 = 54 cm²
Also, area = ½ × AC × BD = ½ × 15 × BD
54 = 7.5 × BD
BD = 54 / 7.5 = 7.2 cm
Marking: M1 area using AB and BC; M1 equating to area using AC and BD; A1 7.2 cm
(b) Calculate AD. [2]
Answer: 5.4 cm
Working:
In right-angled triangle ABD:
AD² + BD² = AB²
AD² + 7.2² = 9²
AD² = 81 - 51.84 = 29.16

Marking: M1 Pythagoras in triangle ABD; A1 5.4 cm
19. Two ships problem.
(a) Distance apart after 2 hours. [3]
Answer: 59.0 km (or 59.0 km)
Working:
Ship P: distance = 24 × 2 = 48 km at bearing 140°
Ship Q: distance = 18 × 2 = 36 km at bearing 230°
Angle between paths = 230° - 140° = 90°
Distance apart² = 48² + 36² = 2304 + 1296 = 3600
Distance = 60 km
Answer: 60 km
Marking: M1 distances travelled; M1 angle between paths; A1 60 km
(b) Bearing of P from Q. [3]
Answer: 323° (or 323.1°)
Working:
Using vector components or geometry:
From Q, the vector to P has components that can be found.
Alternatively, using sine/cosine in triangle formed:
Angle at Q in triangle = tan⁻¹(48/36) = 53.13°
Bearing of P from Q = 230° + 180° - 53.13°? Need careful vector work.
Vector approach:
P position relative to start: (48 sin 140°, 48 cos 140°) = (30.85, -36.77)
Q position relative to start: (36 sin 230°, 36 cos 230°) = (-27.58, -23.14)
Vector QP = P - Q = (30.85 - (-27.58), -36.77 - (-23.14)) = (58.43, -13.63)
Bearing = tan⁻¹(58.43 / 13.63) measured from north clockwise.
Since x positive, y negative: bearing = 90° + tan⁻¹(13.63/58.43)?
Standard bearing calculation:
ΔE = 58.43, ΔN = -13.63
Angle from north = tan⁻¹(|ΔE|/|ΔN|) = tan⁻¹(58.43/13.63) = 76.87°
Since ΔE > 0 and ΔN < 0, bearing = 180° - 76.87° = 103.13°? No — check quadrant.
Actually: Bearing is measured clockwise from north.
If ΔN > 0, ΔE > 0: bearing = tan⁻¹(ΔE/ΔN)
If ΔN < 0, ΔE > 0: bearing = 180° - tan⁻¹(ΔE/|ΔN|)
If ΔN < 0, ΔE < 0: bearing = 180° + tan⁻¹(|ΔE|/|ΔN|)
If ΔN > 0, ΔE < 0: bearing = 360° - tan⁻¹(|ΔE|/ΔN)
Here ΔN = -13.63, ΔE = 58.43:
Angle = tan⁻¹(58.43/13.63) = 76.87°
Bearing = 180° - 76.87° = 103.13° ≈ 103°
Answer: 103°
Marking: M1 vector components or equivalent; M1 correct bearing calculation; A1 103°
20. Circle with radius 10 cm, angle 1.2 radians.
(a) Length of minor arc AB. [1]
Answer: 12 cm
Working:
Arc length = rθ = 10 × 1.2 = 12 cm
Marking: A1 12 cm
(b) Area of minor sector AOB. [1]
Answer: 60 cm²
Working:
Sector area = ½r²θ = ½ × 100 × 1.2 = 60 cm²
Marking: A1 60 cm²
(c) Area of minor segment. [3]
Answer: 7.96 cm² (or 7.96 cm²)
Working:
Area of segment = sector area - triangle area
Triangle area = ½r² sin θ = ½ × 100 × sin 1.2
= 50 × 0.932039 = 46.602 cm²
Segment area = 60 - 46.602 = 13.398 ≈ 13.4 cm²
Wait — recalculate: sin 1.2 rad = 0.932039...
Triangle area = ½ × 10 × 10 × sin 1.2 = 50 × 0.932039 = 46.602
Segment = 60 - 46.602 = 13.398 ≈ 13.4 cm²
Answer: 13.4 cm²
Marking: M1 sector area; M1 triangle area using ½r² sin θ; A1 13.4 cm²
(d) Length of chord AB. [2]
Answer: 11.3 cm (or 11.3 cm)
Working:
Using cosine rule or chord formula:
Chord = 2r sin(θ/2) = 20 × sin(0.6) = 20 × 0.564642 = 11.293 ≈ 11.3 cm
Marking: M1 chord formula or cosine rule; A1 11.3 cm
