AC is a diameter of the circle, centre O. BCD and OED are straight lines. AC = 6 cm and CD = 3 cm. BẬC = 34°. Explain why BĈA = 56°.

  1. (a)(i)AC is a diameter of the circle, centre O. BCD and OED are straight lines. AC = 6 cm and CD = 3 cm. BẬC = 34°. Explain why BĈA = 56°.[1]
  2. (a)(ii)Find CÔD.[2]
  3. (a)(iii)Find OĈE.[1]
  4. (b)(i)In the diagram, PS is the bisector of QPR. QPT and QSR are straight lines. RT is parallel to SP. Explain why PT = PR.[2]
  5. (b)(ii)This diagram shows part of the above diagram. PQ = 12 cm, PR = 5 cm and QR = 8.5 cm. It is given that PQ/PR = QS/SR. Find SR.[3]
