(i) State the reason why angle ÅÆ‚ is 90°. [1]

È is the centre of the circle. So, line ÅÈ‚ is a diameter of the circle.

The angle formed in a semicircle is always a right angle.

Hence, angle ÅÆ‚ 8 90°.

(ii) Determine the value of EACH of the following angles. Show detailed working

where necessary and give a reason to support your answer.

(a) Angle ÆÅ‚ [2]

Consider ∆ÅÆ‚.

The sum of the angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

Angles from the same chord in the same segment are equal.

{ ‚ 8 ÆÅÊ‚.
So, ÆÇ

Hence, angle Ë 8 36°.

(iii) Calculate the value of angle —. [1]

Consider ∆Æ‚Ç.

Since the angle in a semi-circle is 90°, then Æ‚Ê Ç 8 90°.

So, we have,

(b) A right-angled triangle, ¸, has vertices v(1, 1), w(3, 1) and x(3, 4). When ¸ is

0 1
transformed by the matrix ¹ 8 „ …, the image is ¸′.
1 0

Find the coordinates of the vertices of ¸′. [2]

0 1
The transformation matrix ¹ 8 „ … is a reflection in the line • 8 W.
1 0

v(1, 1) → v ã (1, 1)

w(3, 1) → w ã (1, 3)

x(3, 4) → x ã (4, 3)

Hence, the coordinates of the vertices ¸ã are v ã (1, 1) , w ã (1, 3) and x ã (4, 3).

ÙŽ is scalar multiple of Ù¸

Since ÙŽ is parallel to Ù¸ and Ù is a common point to both lines, then, Ù,

¸ and Ž are collinear.
