Write down the value of angle BCA giving a reason for your answer. [2]
(b) Points G, H and J lie on the circumference of a circle, centre O.
Not to scale
Angle GOJ = 52° and angle GJH = \(x\)°. Lines JO and GH are parallel.
Find the value of \(x\). You must show your working. [5]

“correct working” requires at least B2 or B1B1
B1 for OGH = 52 B1 for JHG = 26 B2 for [OGJ =] 64 or M1 for 180 – 52 [÷2]
angles may be on diagram
Alt. 1: B1 for JHG = 26 B1 for OJH = 26 B2 for [OJG =] 64
If 0 or 1 scored award SC2 for answer 38 with no working or insufficient working Note: If answer is 38 and the working is incorrect only award the B marks.
Alt.2: B1 for tangent at G B1 for OGH = 52 M2 for 90 − 52
