\(PQR\) is a straight line.
(i) Work out the value of \(x\). (2)
(ii) Give a reason for your answer. (1)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| (i) 65 | M1 | for a complete method eg \(180 - 85 - 30\) or \(360 - 180 - 85 - 30\) |
| A1 | cao | |
| (ii) Reason | C1 | for Angles on a straight line add up to 180 or Angles at a point add up to 360 |
Additional guidance
(i) May be seen on the diagram
\(85 + 30 + 65 = 180\) scores M1A0 unless 65 clearly identified
(ii) Reason must be for their chosen method
If M0 awarded in (i) answer must be in the range 35 to 95 to award C1
Underlined words must be seen
Condone use of \(\angle\)s for angles
