Mark scheme

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

  1. [3] OA = OB equal radii AT = BT equal tangents OAT = OBT tangent perp to rad [Congruent] SAS Alternatively OT is common OAT = OBT tangent perp to rad OA = OB equal radii or AT = BT equal tangents [Congruent] RHS Alternatively OT is common AT = BT equal tangents OA = OB equal radii [Congruent] SSS
