Higher January 2023 Paper 1R Q10
10 \(R\) and \(T\) are points on a circle, centre \(O\)

Diagram NOT accurately drawn
\(RT = 12\) cm
\(M\) is the midpoint of \(RT\)
Angle \(ROM = 52°\)
Work out the area of the circle.
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

\(\sin 52 = \dfrac{12 \div 2}{r}\) oe or \(\dfrac{r}{\sin 90} = \dfrac{6}{\sin 52}\) oe or \(\cos(90 - 52) = \dfrac{12 \div 2}{r}\) oe or \((r^2 =)\;(12 \div 2)^2 + \left(\dfrac{12 \div 2}{\tan 52}\right)^2\) oe \([r^2 = 6^2 + 4.687\ldots^2]\) or \(\dfrac{r}{\sin 38} = \dfrac{12}{\sin 104}\) oe | M1 |
\(r = \dfrac{6}{\sin 52}\;(= 7.614)\) oe or \(r = \dfrac{6}{\cos 38}\) oe or \((r =)\;\sqrt{(12 \div 2)^2 + \left(\dfrac{12 \div 2}{\tan 52}\right)^2}\;\left[r = \sqrt{6^2 + 4.687\ldots^2}\right]\) oe or \(\dfrac{12 \sin 38}{\sin 104}\) oe | M1 |

Notes
M1: A correct trig statement for the radius; use of tan must also include a correct Pythagoras statement.
M1: A correct method to find the radius of the circle; use of tan must also use Pythagoras to find an expression for \(r\)
M1: the radius must come from a completely correct method
A1: Accept 181 - 183
