Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
(3)
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| (\(x^2 =\)) \(18^2 - 13^2\) or 324 − 169 or 155 | M1 |
| (\(x =\)) \(\sqrt{18^2 - 13^2}\) or \(\sqrt{\text{“}155\text{”}}\) | M1dep |
| 12.4 | A1 |

| (3 marks) |
Notes
M1: Squaring and subtracting
M1dep: for square rooting
A1: Accept 12.4 – 12.46 inclusive
Alternative Methods - Using Trigonometry
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
Eg \(\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{13}{18}\right)\) and 18cos“46.2(382...)” oe or \(\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{13}{18}\right)\) and 18sin“43.7(617...)” oe | M2 |
| 12.4 | A1 |
Notes
M2: For a complete method
A1: Accept 12.4 – 12.46 inclusive
