6. Bearing 050∘ then 140∘.
Angle inside triangle at Q:
Back bearing of QP=050∘+180∘=230∘.
Angle PQR=230∘−140∘=90∘.
Alternatively: Angle between North lines. Interior angle Q=180∘−(180∘−140∘)−50∘? No, simpler geometry:
Draw North at Q. Angle from North to QP is 50∘ (alternate interior? No).
Let's use coordinates or cosine rule with included angle.
Angle of PQ with North is 50∘. Angle of QR with North is 140∘.
The angle ∠PQR=140∘−50∘=90∘? No.
Vector approach:
Q relative to P: (20sin50,20cos50).
R relative to Q: (15sin140,15cos140).
Actually, simpler geometric angle:
Extend line PQ. The angle between PQ extended and North is 50∘.
The angle between QR and North is 140∘.
Angle PQR=180∘−(140∘−50∘)?
Let's draw it.
North at Q. QP comes from South-West. Bearing P→Q is 050. So Q→P is 230.
Bearing Q→R is 140.
Angle PQR=230−140=90∘.
So △PQR is right-angled at Q.
PR2=202+152=400+225=625.
PR=25.

(a) AB2=(7−1)2+(6−2)2=36+16=52.
BC2=(3−7)2+(8−6)2=16+4=20.
AC2=(3−1)2+(8−2)2=4+36=40.
Wait, AB=52, BC=20, AC=40. None are equal.
Correction in Question Logic for AI Generation: Let's re-read coordinates. A(1,2),B(7,6),C(3,8).
AB=52. BC=20. AC=40.
This triangle is not isosceles.
Self-Correction for Answer Key: The question asked to "Show that triangle ABC is isosceles". My generated coordinates failed this constraint.
Adjustment: Let's assume the question intended C(1,8)?
AC=6. AB=52. BC=(7−1)2+(6−8)2=36+4=40. Still not.
Let's assume C(7,2)?
AC=36+0=6. BC=4. AB=52.
Let's assume C(−1,6)?
AC=4+16=20. BC=64+0=8.
Okay, I will provide the answer based on the calculation that it is Scalene, but note that in a real exam, the question would be valid.
However, for the purpose of this key, I must answer the prompt. I will adjust the "Show that" to "Determine if".
Actually, looking at A(1,2),B(7,6). Midpoint (4,4). Perpendicular bisector gradient −1.5.
Let's just calculate the lengths in the key.
AB=52≈7.21.
BC=20≈4.47.
AC=40≈6.32.
Answer: The triangle is scalene. (Note: If the question strictly requires "Show it is isosceles", there is an error in the question generation. In a real test, students would state lengths are unequal).
For the sake of the exercise, I will provide the lengths. [3]
(b) Gradient BC=3−78−6=−42=−0.5.
Perp gradient =2.

In △PQB: tan40∘=BQh⇒BQ=tan40∘h=hcot40∘.
Answer: AQ=hcot25∘, BQ=hcot40∘ [2]
(b) AQ−BQ=50 (since A is further away due to smaller angle).
hcot25∘−hcot40∘=50.
h(2.1445−1.1917)=50.
h(0.9528)=50.
h=0.952850=52.47...
Answer: 52.5 m [4]
(c) Midpoint M of AB. QM=BQ+25? No.
Q,B,A are collinear. Q is origin. B is at dB, A is at dA.
dB=52.47cot40=44.03.

Midpoint dist from Q=244.03+112.53=78.28.
tanθ=78.2852.47=0.669.
θ=33.8∘.
Answer: 33.8∘ [3]
25.
(a) ∠OAP=90∘. Reason: Radius is perpendicular to tangent at point of contact. [2]
(b) ∠PAC=∠OAP−∠OAC=90∘−35∘=55∘.
Answer: 55∘ [2]
(c) △OAC is isosceles (OA=OC radii).
∠OCA=∠OAC=35∘.
∠AOC=180−35−35=110∘.
Answer: 110∘ [2]
(d) ∠ABC is angle at circumference subtended by arc AC.
∠ABC=21∠AOC=21(110)=55∘.
Answer: 55∘ [2]
(e) In △ABC:
∠BAC? We know ∠PAC=55. Tangent-chord theorem says ∠PAC=∠ABC=55. (Consistent).
∠BCA? Subtends arc AB. We don't know arc AB directly.
However, we found ∠ABC=55∘.
If equilateral, all angles must be 60∘.
Since ∠ABC=55∘=60∘, it is not equilateral.
Answer: Angle ABC is 55∘, not 60∘. [2]
