Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Knowledge of the geometric properties of shapes can be used here.
  2. Knowledge of ratio can be used here.

Common misconception

P is a point such that AP : PB is in the ratio of 1 : 3 means that point P is a third of the distance of AB from A.

There are 4 equal parts in total, meaning that point P is a quarter of the distance of AB from A.

Keywords

  • Tangent (of a circle) - The tangent (of a circle) is a line that intersects the circle exactly once.

The feedback slides show where annotations have been added to the given diagram in order to support answering the question. Encourage pupils to annotate any given diagrams with the information they deduce in order to support reaching a solution.
