Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2013). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [M1] AB² =12²+12²–2×12×12×cos 1.4 AB = 2x12 sin 0.7 (May be implied)
  2. [A1] 15.4 to 15.5
  3. [B1] θ = 2π – 1.4(= 4.88) May be implied
  4. [M1] Use s = rθ(=58.6) 12x4.9 or better oe
  5. [A1] 74.1
  6. [M1] (Sector) = ½×12²×(2π−1.4)(=352) or May be implied. π×12² - ½×12²×1.4
  7. [M1] (Triangle) = ½×12×12×sin1.4(= 70.9 or 71)
  8. [M1] Area of major sector + Area of triangle May be implied
  9. [A1] 422 or 423
