What examiners said
The more able candidates produced solutions initially using Pythagoras’ theorem, placing brackets ( ) ( x 3 ) + x and then proceeding to 3x + x before gaining 2 2 2 round the x 3 in showing AE 2 = 2 the accuracy mark for ‘showing’ the square root of 4 x 2 . It was key to label the diagram and draw the diagonals as a guide to getting started. Very few started their solution using trigonometry as a...
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0607/42 Q16(a) (Cambridge)
This was well answered by the more able candidates, but many candidates found incorrect lengths. The most common of these were finding the distance of B to AC or the length of AB or CB. Those finding the correct length often used complicated methods which led to success but often lost the final accuracy due to premature rounding in intermediate calculations. That said, many did use the efficient m...
