| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| \(\sin 32 = \dfrac{BD}{3.1}\) | M1 |
| \(BD = 3.1 \times \sin 32\) (= 1.6427…) | M1 |
| \(\cos 42 = \dfrac{\text{``}{3.1 \sin 32}\text{''}}{AB}\) or \(\dfrac{AB}{\sin 90} = \dfrac{\text{``}{3.1 \sin 32}\text{''}}{\sin 48}\) | M1 |
| \(AB = \dfrac{\text{``}{3.1 \sin 32}\text{''}}{\cos 42}\) or \(AB = \dfrac{\text{``}{3.1 \sin 32}\text{''}}{\sin 48}\) | M1 |
| 2.21 | A1 |

Notes
M1: Accept 1.6 or better
M1: Dep or (\(AD =\)) “1.6..” × tan 42 {= 1.479}
M1: Dep
or (\(AB =\)) \(\sqrt{\text{``}{1.479}\text{''}^2 + \text{``}{1.6427}\text{''}^2}\)
A1: 2.21053... (Accept 2.20 → 2.22)
