Diagram NOT accurately drawn
\(A\), \(B\), \(C\) and \(D\) are points on a circle, centre \(O\).
Angle \(ABC = 58°\).
(a)
(i) Calculate the size of angle \(AOC\).
(ii) Give a reason for your answer. (2)
(b)
(i) Calculate the size of angle \(ADC\).
(ii) Give a reason for your answer. (2)
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| (i) 2 × 58 Answer: 116 | B1 |
| (ii) Answer: eg angle at the centre = 2 × angle at the circumference | B1 |
| (2) |
Notes
B1: cao
B1: Three key points must be mentioned
1. angle at centre/middle/\(O\)/origin
2. twice/double/ 2× or half/ ½ as appropriate
3. angle at circumference/ edge/ perimeter/arc (NOT e.g. angle \(B\), angle \(ABC\), angle at top, angle at outside)
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| (i) 180 − 58 Answer: 122 | B1 |
| (ii) Answer: eg sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral = 180° | B1 |
| (2) | |
| (4 marks) |
Notes
B1: cao
B1: Accept reason which includes ‘opposite’ and ‘cyclic’ and nothing incorrect
Also award if (b)(i) is correct and reason is given as ‘angle at the centre = 2 × angle at the circumference’ oe
Ignore additional reason(s)
