METHOD 1

PC $= \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}$ or 0.8660 (M1)

PM $= \frac{1}{2}$ PC $= \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{4}$ or 0.4330 (A1)

AM $= \sqrt {\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{{16}}}$

$= \frac{{\sqrt 7 }}{4}$ or 0.661 (m) A1

METHOD 2

using the cosine rule

AM² $= {1^2} + {\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{4}} \right)^2} - 2 \times \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{4} \times {\text{cos}}\left( {30^\circ } \right)$ M1A1
