M1: dep on M2 for \(\dfrac{\pi \times \text{‘}8\text{’}}{2}\) oe or 4π 12.5663…
M1: for ‘12.566’ + 15 + 17 and no additional values

| Answer: 44.6 | A1 |
M1 (1st): for a correct method to find one of the angles
M1 (3rd): dep on M2 for \(\dfrac{\pi \times \text{‘}8\text{’}}{2}\) or 12.5663… or 4π
M1 (4th): for “12.566” + 15 + 17 and no additional values
A1: for awrt 44.6
