Answers

1) 130 (1 mark)

2a) 180 - 90 - 36 (M1) = 54 (A1) (2 marks total)

b) ABC = 1/2 AOC (M1) = 27 (A1)


"Angle at circumference is half angle at centre OR angle at centre is twice angle at
circumference" (B1) (3 marks total)

3a) ABO = 90 - 62 = 28 (M1)


x = 180 - (2 x 28) = 124 (A1) (2 marks total)

b) BOC = 360 - 90 - 90 - 40 = 140 (M1)


AOC = 360 - 140 - 124 = 96 (M1)
y = (180 - 96)/2 = 42 (A1)

4) ABD = 32 (Alternate Segment Theorem) (M1)


CBD = 32 (Alternate Angles) (M1)
BCD = 180 - (2 x 32) = 116 (Base angles of isosceles triangle are equal) (M1)
DAB = 180 - 116 = 64 (Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral add to 180) (A1)

(4 marks total)

5) Angle QPR = (180 - 116)/2 = 32 (M1)


QSR = 32 as angles in same segment are equal. (B1) (2 marks total)
