No Additional Materials are required. 2 hours 15 minutes READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your name, class and index number in the spaces at the top of this page. Write in dark blue or black pen. You may use an HB pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use paper clips, glue or correction fluid. Answer all questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. The total number of marks for this paper is 90.

Since there are 2 equal angles in triangle ABD , triangle ABD is isosceles. (b) Let ABD x= , Since triangle ABD is isosceles (part(a)), 180 2BDA x = − (angle sum of triangle) by tangent chord theorem, ABD ADC x = = Or 180 [ 180 2 ]ADC x x = − + − x= (interior angles) Since tangents from an external point are equal, triangle CDA is also isosceles. Thus, ADC CAD x = = And 180 2DCA x BDA = − = (shown) 4 (a) (i) 10 cos 180x− or 10 cos x − (ii) 190 tan 90 x−− or 1tan22 x −− (b) (i) 20 6 72a −=− =− 2 12 6b == 13c= (ii) 14 16x
