The diagram shows a circle, centre O, with diameters AC and BD.

  1. (a)Show that triangle OAB is congruent to triangle ODC. Give a reason for each statement you make.[3]
  2. (b)The diameter of the circle is 10cm and AB = 9cm. Calculate the difference between the circumference of the circle and the perimeter of the shaded shape.[5]

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2023). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [3] (a) AO = DO [equal] radii
  2. [3] (a) BO = CO [equal] radii
  3. [3] (a) ∠AOB = ∠DOC [vertically] opposite
  4. [3] (a) [Congruent] SAS
  5. [3] (a) B2 for two pairs of equal sides/angles with correct reasons or B1 for one pair of equal sides/angles with correct reason or for two appropriate pairs with no or incorrect reasons
  6. [3] (a) Angles described using convention of 3 letters
  7. [5] (b) 4.39 or 4.40 or 4.392 to 4.398
  8. [5] (b) M2 for [AOB =]2xsin^-1(4.5/5) oe or cos[] = (5^2+5^2-9^2)/(2x5x5) oe or M1 for sin[] = 4.5/5 oe or 9^2 = 5^2 + 5^2 - 2x5x5cos[] oe
  9. [5] (b) AND M2 for 10π - (9+9+2x(their AOD/360)x10π) oe or M1 for [2x](their AOD/360)x10π oe
