Diagram NOT accurately drawn
\(P\), \(Q\), \(R\) and \(S\) are points on the circumference of a circle.
\(PR\) and \(QS\) intersect at \(T\).
Angle \(QPR = 34^\circ\) and angle \(PRS = 41^\circ\)
(a)
(i) Find the size of angle \(PQS\).
(ii) Give a reason for your answer.
(2)(b)
(i) Find the size of angle \(PTS\).
(ii) Explain why \(T\) cannot be the centre of the circle.
(2)| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| (i) 41° | B1 |
| (ii) Angles in same segment (are equal) | B1 |
| (2) |
Notes
B1: Accept “from same chord”, “on same arc”.
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| (i) 75° | B1 |
| (ii) Angle at centre/middle is not 2 × angle at circumference / edge / perimeter / arc or Angle \(PQT \neq QPT\) or \(PRS \neq RSQ\) (oe) or 34 ≠ 41 | B1 |
| (2) | |
| (Total 4 marks) |
Notes
B1: Accept 75 ≠ 2 × 41 or 75 ≠ 2 × 34
or using idea of isosceles triangles but must mention angles.
