correct working        (A1)

eg        sin α = 8 10 ,   cos θ = 6 10 ,   cos B A ^ C = 6 2 + 10 2 8 2 2 × 6 × 10

0.927295

B A ^ C = 0.927   ( = 53.1 )       (A1)  N2

a.

Note: There may be slight differences in the final answer, depending on the approach the candidate uses in part (b). Accept a final answer that is consistent with their working.

correct area of sector  ABF (seen anywhere)        (A1)

eg        1 2 × 6 2 × 0.927 ,   53.1301 360 × π × 6 2 ,   16 .6913

correct expression (or value) for either [ AD ] or [ BD ] (seen anywhere)        (A1)

eg        AD = 6 cos ( B A ^ C ) ( = 3.6 )

            BD = 6 sin ( 53.1 ) ( = 4.8 )

correct area of triangle ABD (seen anywhere)        (A1)

eg        1 2 × 6 cos B A ^ D × 6 sin B A ^ D ,   9 sin ( 2 B A ^ C ) 8.64 (exact)

appropriate approach (seen anywhere)        (M1)

eg        A triangle ABD A sector ,  their sector − their triangle ABD

8.05131

area of shaded region = 8.05 (cm2)       A1  N2
