Paper (Non-Calculator), 8 June 004 Question (i). 0.0 9 Question Set compasses to length PB and mark off an equal distance the other side of P (which I will call C). Using a slightly wider distance place point of compasses on B and mark off arcs above and below P. Place compasses on C and repeat operation. Connect the two points where these arcs intersect, to form required perpendicular.

Since PB and PC are tangents, both radiating from P, they are of equal length. Since AP is shared by both triangles, AP B and AP C are congruent. By symmetry, angle BPC 0 degrees. Since triangle PBC is isceles, angle PBC 80 degrees. Using alternate segment theorem, angle BAC 80 degrees. Since ABC is isceles, angle ABC 0 degrees.

Paper 6 (Calculator), June 004 (Note : When a number is given followed by several dots, this implies that the number is to be kept inside the calculator in full, and this full form is to be used for the entire calculation. You do not write it down in truncated form and then use this truncated form in later calcuulations - this will possibly introduce rounding errors.

From the way the line is presented, I would assume that this the method they are suggesting Choose a point O mewhere inside the angle. Set the compasses to OA and draw a circle with compass point on O, such that it cuts the line at B. Join B and O and extend to circumference of circle at C. Join A and C and this will be the perpendular to A (because angle at A will be the angle subtended by diameter BC). You can then bisect this right angle - with compass point on O, draw two arcs intersecting OC and OB. With compass points on these intersections draw two more arcs intersecting each other. Draw a line connecting this latter intersection and O. Could al use the following method, although you might not have too much space - Construct a perpendicular to the given line. Easiest to construct a perpendicular bisector. Set compasses to a width greater than half the length of the line. With the point of compasses on ends of line in turn, construct arcs above and below line that you have two sets of intersecting arcs. 9
http://www.maccer.co.uk 0 Connect these intersections to form the perpendicular bisector. Next, set compasses to length between A and point where bisector crosses the line, Use this distance to mark off a point C the same distance along the bisector (using compasses, with its point on aforementioned point where bisector crosses line). Connect C with A.
