Notes
M1: substitution into Cosine rule
A1: 14.8(4561…)
M1: ft \(LN\) dep on 1st M1
or correct start to alternative method to find angle \(MLN\) or angle \(NLP\) or angle \(LNP\)
[\(4.3^2 = 14.8..^2 + 15.6^2 - 2 \times 14.8 \times 15.6\cos NLP\)]
M1: ft \(LN\) dep on 1st M1
or complete alternative method to find angle \(MLN\) or angle \(NLP\) or angle \(LNP\)
NB: \(LNP\) = 180 – 87.99 = 92.009...
\(NLP = \cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{14.8..^2 + 15.6^2 - 4.3^2}{2 \times 14.8.. \times 15.6}\right)\)
M1: ft \(LN\) dep on 1st M1
or complete method to find angle \(MLN\) and angle \(NLP\) (or \(LNP\) acute or obtuse)
A1: for 67.46 – 67.8
