1a
Draw on lines of symmetry to check how many times you could cut the pentagon exactly in half

The regular pentagon has 5 lines of symmetry [1]

1b
Imagine rotating the kite 360° (one full turn) about its centre
Count how many times the kite looks identical to its starting position

The kite has rational symmetry of order 1 [1]

2a
Note that a rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides

A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezium. [1]
2b
Note that angles smaller than 90° are called acute, and angles larger than 180° are called reflex

An angle greater than 90° but less than 180° is called obtuse. [1]

As 1 m = 100 cm, you get the conversion 1 m3 = 1003 cm3.

1 m3 = 1003 cm3 = 106 cm3

1 000 000 cm3 [1]

As 1 m = 100 cm, you get the conversion 1 m3 = 1003 cm3.

1 m3 = 1003 cm3 = 106 cm3

To convert 32.4 m3, multiply 1 m3 by 32.4.

32.4 m3 = 32.4 × 106 cm3

 32 400 000 cm3 [1]

Vertices are the "corners". A hexagonal pyramid has 6 vertices at the base and one vertex at its
tip. 6 + 1 = 7

If unsure, sketch the shape:

The second option is correct, hexagon-based pyramid [1]

A hexagonal prism has two lots of six vertices, six at either end. 6 + 6 = 12
A pentagonal prism has two lots of five vertices, five at either end. 5 + 5 = 10
A pentagon-based pyramid has 5 vertices on its base and one at its tip. 5 + 1 = 6

As triangles AFE and CEF are both equilateral (stated in the question), and they both share the
side EF, this means that all the highlighted lengths must be the same length

AFCE is a rhombus [1]

A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides the same length

The mark scheme also accepts kite, parallelogram, or trapezium, as a rhombus is a special
case of these shapes

i) The line A touches the circle at a single point

Line A is a tangent [1]

ii) Shaded region B is formed by a line joining two points on the circumference, which does not
pass through the centre; a chord

Shaded region B is a segment [1]
