3 B 8 cm a rad O A 8 cm C In the diagram, OAB is a sector of a circle with centre O and radius 8 cm. Angle BOA is ! radians. OAC is a semicircle with diameter OA. The area of the semicircle OAC is twice the area of the sector OAB. (i) Find ! in terms of 0. [3] (ii) Find the perimeter of the complete figure in terms of 0. [2]

Mark scheme: 1 2 1 23 (i) (OAB ) = × 8 α , (OAC ) = × π × 4 B1B1 Accept 25.1 (for OAC) 2 2 π α = B1 8 [3] 1 (ii) 8 + 8 × their α + × 8 × π B1 23.7 gets B1B0 2 8 + 5 π B1 SC B1 for e.g. 5 π (omitted OB) [2] 2 5
