Try all of the problems. It can be relatively easy, even towards the end of the test, to receive some points for partial solutions. A positive evaluation can be given even for unfinished solutions. Score and mark levels The maximum number of points you can receive for each solution is indicated after each problem. If a problem can give 2 Pass-points and 1 Pass with distinction-point this is written [2/1]. Some problems are marked with , which means that they more than other problems offer opportunities to show knowledge that can be related to the criteria for Pass with Special Distinction in Assessment Criteria 2000. Lower limit for the mark on the test G: Pass: 14 points VG: 30 at least 7 VG points. MVG: High quality of calculations and deep level of understanding must be illustrated through out the test, especially in problems 11-14 marked .

Naming the radius of the circle r , we may express the area relationship 1 as: Atriangle = Ahalf circle 3 11 1 h BC = r 2 using BC = 2 r / / 2 32 1 1 / h 2r = r 2 h = r / 3 6 Lets connect the vertex A of the triangle to the centre of the half-circle O . In the right triangle ADO , The hypotenuse of the right triangle ADO , i.e. AO is identical to the radius of the half-circle. In the triangle ADO we may express the height of the triangle as h h sin(AOC ) = sin(2 B ) = h = r sin(2 B ) h = r sin (2 B ) r OA Equating these two equation results in determining angles of the triangle: 1 1 1 1 h = r 1 1 r sin (2 B ) = r sin (2 B ) = 2 B = sin 1 B = sin 1 6 / / 6 6 2 6 6 h = r sin (2 B )

Second method: The triangle ADO is a right-triangle and A = 90 . This is due to the fact that the hypotenuse of the triangle is the diameter of the circle. If we denote the radius of the circle by r , we may use the trigonometric relationships and express the height and the base of the right-triangle as: AB AB cos B = = AB = 2r cos B BC 2r AC AC sin B = = AC = 2r sin B BC 2r Therefore, we may express the area relationship of the triangle and the half-circle as 1 Atriangle = Ahalf circle 3 1 11 AC AB = r 2 2 3 2 1 // (2r sin B ) (2r cos B ) = 1 1 r 2 / / / 2 3 2
