The question, in short

A circle has centre O, chord RT = 12 cm with midpoint M, and angle ROM = 52°. Calculate the circle's area to 3 significant figures.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 1RM = 12 ÷ 2 = 6 cm and angle OMR = 90°
  2. 2sin 52° = 6 ÷ r, so r = 6 ÷ sin 52° = 7.614 cm
  3. 3Area = π × 7.614² = 182.1… = 182
