∴ The sum of the areas of △BCF and △CDF is less than 168.5 cm2. 1A
(iii) In △ACF, by the cosine formula,
FC2 = AF2 + AC2  2  AF  AC  cos BAC
FC  52 2  39.810 023 562  2  52  39.810 023 56  cos 18.952 854 cm

ACF  119.023 573
∵ ACF > 90
∴ The line segment joining A and any point on CF is not perpendicular to CF.
i.e. P does not lie on CF.
∴ The claim is disagreed. 1A
