(a) [Figure 7.1] AC is a diameter of the circle, centre O, radius 5 cm. ACB = 64°. Calculate the length of the minor arc BC. (b) [Figure 7.2] A baking tray is an open cylinder of radius 15.5 cm with a rim. The outer edge of the rim is a circle of radius 16.5 cm.

  1. (a)AC is a diameter of the circle, centre O, radius 5 cm. ACB = 64°. Calculate the length of the minor arc BC.[4]
  2. (b)(i)Calculate the area of the top surface of the rim.[2]
  3. (b)(ii)44 identical circular holes are cut out of the bottom of the baking tray. The area of the bottom that remains is 650 cm². Calculate the radius of each circular hole.[3]
  4. (b)(iii)[Figure 7.3] To make a pizza, the baking tray is completely filled with dough to a depth of d mm. The open cylinder holds 500 cm³ of dough. Calculate the depth of the dough, d mm, giving your answer correct to the nearest millimetre.[3]
