1 Explanation with appropriate P1 angle BCA = 30° and angle XYZ = 130° OE, e.g. angle BCA =
angles and reasons 30 and angle YXZ = 35, so these are not equal or angle XYZ
130 and angle ABC = 135 so these are not equal

C1 similar triangles must have identical angles, so the two


triangles are not similar

4b 3 (cm) P1 ST = 9 ÷ (6 ÷ 2) OE, e.g. PS ÷ 9 = 8 ÷ 6 so PS = 12


and ST = 12 − 9 = 3

A1 3

5 Full proof C3 e.g. XWM = MYZ and WXM = MZY because alternate angles
are equal
WX = YZ because opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal
and reference to ASA
C2 for identifying any two of XWM = MYZ, WXM = MZY or
WX = YZ with correct reasons or all three with one correct
reason
C1 for identifying any one of XWM = MYZ, WXM = MZY or
WX = YZ with a correct reason or all three with no correct
reason
