   [Diagram: A circle with centre $O$. Points $A$ and $C$ are on the circle. Lines $BA$ and $BC$ are tangents to the circle at $A$ and $C$ respectively, meeting at point $B$. The radius $OA$ is labelled $4\text{ cm}$. The angle $\angle AOC$ is labelled $154^{\circ }$. The region bounded by the arc $AC$ and the chord $AC$ is...See it on the paper →

   The diagram shows a square and 2 regular octagons fitting together at a point. [Diagram: A square positioned between two regular octagons, all meeting at a central point.] This is the formula for the size of each interior angle, $a^{\circ }$, of a regular polygon with $n$ sides. $$a=180-\frac{360}{n}$$ (a) Show that t...See it on the paper →

What examiners said

Most realised the lengths required to work out the perimeter and many successfully reached the correct answer. Various methods were used to calculate the length of BC. Most used the sine rule or the cosine rule and some right-angle triangle trigonometry with the bisector of angle BDC. A few, having worked out the required lengths correctly, added the length BD in with the other four lengths. A sma...

— Examiner report, February/March 2025, 0607/42 Q14(c) (Cambridge)

Most gave the correct answer, kite. However, a fairly substantial number gave wrong answers such as rhombus.

— Examiner report, February/March 2025, 0607/42 Q15(a) (Cambridge)

Most candidates knew that an octagon has 8 sides and were able to show the substitution of 8 for n in the formula given.
