Question 3 (b) · 5 marks

Circle geometry

Paper

TA is a tangent at A. Angle TAB = 62°, angle ABC = 48°. Determine, with reasons, the size of angle BAC.

angle ACB = angle TAB = 62°

Tan-chord: the angle between a tangent and a chord equals the angle in the alternate segment.

angle BAC + 48° + 62° = 180°

Angles in triangle ABC add up to 180°.

Next: solve for the angle asked for

Write your line first, then see how it is set out and why.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload a past paper

    Add a PDF, Word or PowerPoint paper. It's split into its questions, with the marks for each.

  2. 2

    Open a question

    See what the question is asking and what you need to know before you start.

  3. 3

    Try each line first

    Write your line, then show the worked line and the reason for it.

Features

  • Worked from your study material

    The working uses your own notes and slides, and names the concepts from your module that it relies on.

  • Add the memo

    Upload the memorandum, and its answer is shown when you reach the end of the working.

  • Every part on its own

    Parts like 3(b)(ii) become questions of their own, each with its marks.

Frequently asked questions

Does it mark my answers?

No. You write each line yourself, then compare it with the worked line.

Can it read a scanned paper?

Not yet. The paper needs text you can select and copy. A paper that's only images is refused with a message saying so.

How many papers can I add?

The free plan holds 1 paper at a time, with its memorandum. Pro has no limit.
