7. C X O θ B A Figure 3 Figure 3 shows the design for a sign at a bird sanctuary. The design consists of a kite OABC joined to a sector OCXA of a circle centre O. In the design • OA = OC = 0.6 m • AB = CB = 1.4 m • Angle OAB = Angle OCB = 2 radians • Angle AOC = θ radians, as shown in Figure 3 Making your method clear,

In part (a), candidates may not be careful with the use of θ. E.g. in their working, their θ may be
angle AOB which they correctly double to get 1.64 – condone this poor notation and give credit
if the intention is clear.

Is acceptable for full marks in (a)
(a)
M1 Attempts the cosine rule to get OB or OB2 seen in part (a) only
A1 OB = awrt 1.74 or truncated as 1.7 or e.g. 1.73 (may be implied)
dM1
Attempts the sine rule with the sides and angles in the correct positions in an attempt to
find AOB or 1/2 AOB. This must be a full attempt including using inverse sin to find
the angle.
This may be achieved by attempting the sine rule to find angle ABO first and then using
the angle sum. This requires use of the sine rule with the sides and angles in the correct
positions in an attempt to find ABO followed by
π −

Fully correct work leading to the given answer with no obvious rounding errors.
E.g. if they obtain angle AOB = 0.827 following correct a method then state 2×0.827 =

would need to find the area of triangle ABC as well, or half of both of these), dM3: A
