Could someone help me with part (c)

and for part (d), me reason is they are equal because angle between tangent and chord through point of contact equals angle in the alternate segment.
While the answer at the back use another way, which is long, to prove the angles.

Am I right?

An arithmetic error. You said:

100 = 36 n^2

Therefore n^2 = 64.

===========================

What program did you use to do that on the tablet, or did you just use MS Paint with a thick pen tip setting?

Oh what, the top part of my proof cut off. Anyway, it's meant to say:

Let Angle CAP = X.

But PQ is a tangent at a radius OA, so Angle OAP = 90 degrees.

Then continue as per my diagram.

----------------------------------------------------------------

A bit of a strange question imo because exams don't often ask you to prove the theorems taught. The theorem we are proving here is the Alternate Segment Theorem.

I answered the question by stating the Alternate Segment Theorem....will I get full marks for it?

You would get 0 marks for it unfortunately because the question asked you to PROVE it.

That's like you asking me to prove that I have a dog, and I 'prove' it by telling you I have a dog.

Oh crumbs :D Thanks for that, I should probably stop doing maths that late. I used MyPaint, it's quite nice for tablets.

Either 2x3U or 1x4U (includes marking and going through what you went wrong etc).

how can you go from : 2npie/5 +- pie/15 to the following step:

(6n +- 1) pie/15

I'm not going to answer your question until you change 'pie' to 'pi'.
