Angle PMT = angle …… because ……
Side MT is ……
Triangle TMP is congruent to triangle TMQ because …… [3]
| Answer | Marks | Part marks and guidance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| QMT and [diameter bisects chord] so VT [diameter] is perpendicular to PQ [chord] | 1 | Also accept TMQ | |
| [MT is] common | 1 | accept e.g. ‘shared’ | |
| SAS | 1 | ||
