2.2 Diameter 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 , of circle 𝑀𝑀 , bisects 𝐹𝐹𝐴𝐴̂𝐵𝐵 . 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 is perpendicular to cord 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 . 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 ,
extended, meets the circle at 𝐶𝐶. 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 is drawn.

2.2.1 Prove ∆𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴|||∆𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴. (5)

𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
2.2.2 Hence, determine the numerical value of 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
. (5)

2.2.3 Prove ∆𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶|||∆𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴. (4)

2.2.4 Prove 𝐴𝐴𝐷𝐷2 = 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶. 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷. (3)

QUESTION 3

In the diagram, a circle with tangent 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 is given. 𝐴𝐴, 𝐵𝐵, 𝐷𝐷 and 𝐸𝐸 are points on the perimeter
of the circle. 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 = 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 and 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴//𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸. 𝐴𝐴̂1 = 𝑥𝑥

3.1 Give, with reasons, three more angles each equal to 𝑥𝑥. (3)

3.2 Prove that ∆𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷|||∆𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷. (3)

3.3 Prove that:

𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 × 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
3.3.1 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 = 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷
(3)

𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 × 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷
3.3.2 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 = 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴
(3)

3.4 Hence, prove that 𝐴𝐴𝐸𝐸 2 = 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵. 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 (2)

QUESTION 4

The diagram below is the top view design of a new railway system. Eight stations are being
built, marked with letters 𝐴𝐴 to 𝐻𝐻 below. You have been asked to do some calculations for
the railway company. As an engineer you know that:

𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 ∥ 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 and 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 ∥ 𝐺𝐺𝐺𝐺

𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 5 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 8 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 5 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 8
𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵
= 8 , 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 = 15 , 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 = 13 and 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 = 7

If the straight-line distance of the track from 𝐹𝐹 to 𝐶𝐶 is 390 kilometres and it takes 40 hours
to build one kilometre of the track, determine the number of hours it will take to build the
section from 𝐸𝐸 to 𝐷𝐷. (6)
