So bad

it was pretty good i think, yeah the circle theorem question was confusing, i got 48 degrees but then 33 degrees as my final answer, i think 900cm3 for the volume one, and the the kite and triangle question was confusing but i did simultaneous equations

i had 900 aswell and the simultaneous equation answer in the end was 10, did u get 72 for the area of sector finding the angle question?

also i think i had 142 as x in the end which i think is wrong but i had 66 as another angle but i think i did that question wrong but i thought the paper was so good

did anyone else get 15 as n for the HCF and LCM question? 0.25 as the reciprocal? and for the probability one i had a few answers they were all over 110 tho,

i waffled so hard, kept using the additional pages but apparently the examiner sometimes doesn’t look 💀 on simultaneous equations i think i had y as 4 and x as 2.5 or vice versa? on the circle theorem one i think i had x as 22 😭😭 and then area of sector think i had 98 degrees or something… idk

what did u get on the inverse and direct proportion my final answer was 6

0.25 for the reciprocal, 10 for the kite question of simultaneous equations, 15 as n, 6 for the inverse proportion, 121 or something with some angles like 66 worked out for the circle, 72 for the segment, what was the answer to the probability ones?

reciprocal one is right, it was 9 for the kite question, proportion is right, i don’t think the rest is right. circle theorems 38 degrees, arcs and sectors was 90 something
