Old exam papers are a great way to revise and prepare for the upcoming National Senior
Certificate (NSC) examinations. In this way you can find out what you already know and
what you don’t. Working through past examination papers also helps you manage your time
better and be familiar with the terminology and vocabulary used in the actual exam. A full
range of past matric examination papers and corresponding memorandums (answer papers)
can be downloaded from the National Department of Basic Education website at
www.education.gov.za . Click on “LEARNERS” on top menu bar and when the new page
has loaded, click on “PAST EXAM PAPERS” under the “ASSESMENT” banner on the
right-hand side of the page. You will then find previous exam papers grouped by year.

MESSAGE TO ALL MATHEMATICS LEARNERS

FROM FRANCE CHAVANGWANE
I believe that it all begins from a dream, immediately you start dreaming
about it, it is the time you start achieving it. This words keeps me going,
so to you also start dreaming about what you want to achieve in your life
then start working towards your dream.
The world that we are now living in it requires education, so you have to
value the importance of education. Make sure you become friends with
your books and not waste most of your time doing things that won’t
benefit you in your life. Know very well that you won’t stay at a high
school level forever there will be time where you have to leave and face
the real world out there. You cannot defeat the world without your
powerful spear which is education that can fight the battle for you.

France Chavangwane GEOMETRY AT PLAY
Respect and appreciate your teachers because they are trying to shape
your future to become a better and an independent individual tomorrow.
In my life I believe that everyone was born capable so the way you think it
is the way you will do things, that means when you think Mathematics is
a difficult subject to you definitely it will be difficult to you. So you have
to change the way you think and develop a positive attitude towards all
your subjects for positive results.
Associate yourself with people who will add value to your life and
encourage you to do good things for good benefits. One of the
motivational speakers Mr B Mnyakeni who is an author of a book called
‘work in progress’, while I was still doing my matric (Grade 12) told me
about the 5Ps and explained the meaning of each P to me which I would
like also to share with you. He said that the first P means PROPER, second
P means PLANNING, third P means PREVENTS, forth P means POOR
and fifth PERFOMANCE which in overall meant that Proper planning
prevents poor performance that means when you plan/study in time you
minimize your chances of performing poorly on your studies.
Avoid studying for exams a night before the actual exam because it will
give you depression and cause you to perform poorly because you failed to
do the proper planning for your exams. Maths it is unlike any other
subject you need to constantly practise it, if you can have single 30
minutes per day can give you positive good results in maths.
The choice about your life is yours so you know what you want in your life
words can be told but at the end you are the one to decide about your life.
I just wish you all the best in your studies, you are the future of South
Africa.
We are all looking forward for a better tomorrow in you so make the
country proud of you.

SOME GEOMETRY PROPERTIES REVISED
Triangle__________________________
Isosceles
An isosceles is having two adjacent sides (From the
same point) as equal in this case AB=AC
That means that the base angles are also equal. For
understanding are angles subtended by the line
opposite to the angle subtending the adjacent line
ABC=ACB (Base angles of Isosceles∆)
NOTE: If you are given base angles as equal you can

also say the adjacent lines are also equal)
Height Construction of ∆s Constructed height labelled h
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trigonometric Ratios and Pythagoras Theorem
Both trigonometric ratios and Pythagoras theorem are used in right angled triangle
depending on the information that you are given or what you are asked to calculate. If
you are given any angle and any side, then trigonometric ratios becomes useful.
Hypotenuse Side is the longest side and always
opposite to the 90° angle
Adjacent Side- Is the side which in contact with
both the 90° angle and the angle we are examining
Opposite / Adjacent
Opposite Side-is the side which is opposite to the

angle that we are examining.
The different trigonometric ratios can be memorized

using the word SOH CAH TOA
From the diagram of ∆ABC
Opposite /Adjacent We see that using Angle α, the trigonometric ratios are:
𝑂𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝐴𝐵
Pythagoras Theorem: States that the sin 𝛼 = =
𝐻𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝐴𝐶
square of the longest side is equal to the
sum of the square of the other two sides 𝐴𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐵𝐶
cos 𝛼 = =
in a right angled triangle. 𝐻𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝐴𝐶
𝑂𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 = 𝐴𝐵
tan 𝛼 =
𝐴𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐵𝐶
(𝐻𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒)2 = (𝐴𝑗𝑎𝑐)2 + (𝑜𝑝𝑝)2
Also by using angle ø, the trigonometric ratios becomes:
𝐴𝐶 2 = 𝐵𝐶 2 + 𝐴𝐵2
𝑂𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝐵𝐶
Note: It does not matter much that sin ø = =
which side is your adjacent or opposite
because overall your answer will be the 𝐴𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐴𝐵
same, but most importantly is to spot cos ø = =
your hypotenuse side correctly.
𝑂𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝐵𝐶
tan ø = =
𝐴𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐴𝐵
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lines Revision
A line is any two or more points joint together

A Tangent line- is a line touch the graph or circle at only one point
A straight-line are points joint together with the same gradient between any two points.
Parallel lines II-are lines in the same or opposite direction which have the same gradient.
Transversal -Is a line cutting any system of lines
Line AB II CD (Line AB is parallel to CD)
Alternating Angles-Makes a Z shape angles
E3 = F2 (Alternating ∠s)
Vertically Opposite-Makes a V shape
E4 = F1 (Alternating ∠s)
Corresponding Angles-Makes a F shape E1 = E4 (Vertically opp ∠s)
Co interior Angles-Makes a C shape E3 = F3 (Corresponding ∠s )
E4 + F2 = 180° (Co Interior ∠s)

The Midpoint Theorem: Sates that any line drawn from the centre bisects the chord/ cuts the chord
into two equal halves
QUESTION: Given a circle with centre O, with OB Ʇ AC, Prove with reasons that AB=AC
SOLUTION
Construction: Construct line OA and OC
Background Knowledge: We need to recall what is meant
by congruent (≡) triangles, which is simply triangles that are
the same in shape and size, meaning all sides and angles are
equal when one is put on top of the other can perfectly fit
each other.
We see that, when we construct we now have two
triangles mainly ∆AOB (yellow) & ∆COB (white) also
OB=OC (Radii)
OB=OB (Common)
𝐵1 = 𝐵2 = 90° (𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛)
Therefore
∆AOB≡ ∆COB (RHS)
AB=BC (all sides in congruent ∆ are equal)
+
RHS means: R-Right angle, H-Hypogenous and S-Side, in
short we have two equal side and one pair of equal angles
which becomes sufficient enough to prove congruency.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tan Chord Theorem: The angle between the tangent and a chord is equal to the angle subtended by the
chord in contact with that tangent in the opposite segment
QUESTION: Given a circle with a centre O prove DAC= ABC
SOLUTION Construction: Line AE through O and Line BE
We see that
𝐴1 + 𝐴2 = 90° (𝑅𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑇𝑎𝑛)

𝐵1 + 𝐵2 = 90° (𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑡 𝑏𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟)
𝐵1 = 𝐴2 (𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑆𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡)
Also
𝐴1 + 𝐴2 = 𝐵1 + 𝐵2 (𝐵𝑜𝑡ℎ 𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑜 90°)
Solving for 𝐴1
𝐴1 = 𝐵1 + 𝐵2 − 𝐴2
𝐴1 = 𝐵1 + 𝐵2 − 𝐵1 (𝐴2 = 𝐵1 )
𝐴1 = 𝐵2
Therefore
DAC= ABC
Centre Theorem: Angle subtended at the centre is twice the angle subtended at the circumference
provided they are subtended by the same chord or arch
QUESTION I : Given a circle with centre O prove that

AOB=2ACB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOLUTION
Construction: Construct line OC
Background knowledge: Base angles of an isosceles triangle are

equal/ ∠opposite equal sides are also equal
We see that
OC=OB (Radii), Therefore ∆ BOC is an isosceles ∆
Let 𝐶1 = 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶2 = 𝑦
𝐶 = 𝐶1 + 𝐶2
= x+y
Figure Extracted ∆BOC
B =x+y (Base ∠ of isosceles ∆)
Now we need to find 𝑂2
𝑂2 + 𝐶 + 𝐵 = 180° (𝑆𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓∠ 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 ∆)
02 + (𝑥 + 𝑦) + (𝑥 + 𝑦) = 180°
𝑂2 =180°-2x-2y
We need then to find 𝑂1 to do so we need to know the size of AOC
OA= OC (radii), Therefore ∆AOC is an isosceles ∆
A=𝐶1 = 𝑥
Figure showing Extracted ∆𝐴𝑂𝐶
AOC+ A+𝐶1 = 180° (Sum of∠ in a ∆)
AOC+ X+x =180
AOC= 180-2X
BUT 𝐴𝑂𝐶 = 𝑂1 +𝑂2
𝑂1 = 𝐴𝑂𝐶 − 𝑂2
= (180-2X)-(180-2X-2Y)
= 2Y
𝑂1 = 2𝐶2
Therefore, AOC =2ACB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION II : Given a circle with centre O, prove that AOB=2ACB
Construction: Line Trough O

SOLUTION Background Knowledge: The exterior ∠ of ∆ is equal to
the sum of two opposite interior ∠s and that the base ∠of
isosceles ∆ are equal
We see that from ∆AOC
OC=OA (Radii)
𝐴 = 𝐶1 (𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒 ∠𝑜𝑓 𝐼𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠∆)
𝑂1 = 𝐶1 + 𝐴 (𝐸𝑥𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟∠ of a ∆)
=𝐶1 + 𝐶1 (A=𝐶1 )
=2𝐶1
Extracted ∆AOC
Also from ∆BOC extraction
OB=OC (Radii)
B=𝐶2 (𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒∠ 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠∆)
𝑂2 = 𝐶2 + 𝐵 ((Exterior∠ of a ∆)
𝑂2 = 𝐶2 + 𝐶2
𝑂2 = 2𝐶2
Then
AOB =𝑂1 + 𝑂2
=2𝐶1 + 2𝐶2
=2(𝐶1 +𝐶1 ) 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑛𝑔 2 𝑜𝑢𝑡
= 2ACB
Therefore, AOB =2ACB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Same segment Theorem: The angle subtended by the same segment are equal
QUESTION: Given a circle with centre O, prove that A=B
SOLUTION
Construction: No need for one

Background Knowledge: The centre theorem that angle at
the centre is twice the angle at the circumference
Proof
O =2A (∠ at the centre is twice ∠ at the circumference)
O=2B (∠ at the centre is twice ∠ at the circumference)
O=O
2A=2B (divide by 2)
A=B Proven, that angle in the same segment are equal
Cyclic quad Theorem: Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary
QUESTION I: Given a circle with centre O, prove that A+C=180°
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOLUTION
Construction: Construct line DB through O
Background Knowledge: The centre theorem that angle at the

centre is twice the angle at the circumference
𝑂2 = 2𝐴 (∠ 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑡𝑤𝑖𝑐𝑒 ∠ 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒)

𝑂1 = 2𝐶 (∠ 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑡𝑤𝑖𝑐𝑒 ∠ 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒)
O = 𝑂1 + 𝑂2
360° = 2𝐶 + 2𝐴 (𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)
360 = 2 (𝐶 + 𝐴)
Dividing by 2, we get
180=C+A
Tangent Theorem: Tangent from the same point are equal
QUESTION: Given a circle with a centre O, Prove that AB=AC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOLUTION
Construction: Construct lines AO, OB and OC

Background Knowledge: We need to recall what is
meant by congruent (≡) triangles, which is simply
triangles that are the same in shape and size, meaning
all sides and angles are equal when one is put on top of
the other can perfectly fit each other
We see that, when we construct we now have two

triangles mainly ∆AOB (yellow) & ∆COB (white) also
OB=OC (Radii)
OA=OA (Common)
OBA=OCA =90° (TanꞱRadius)
Therefore
∆AOB≡ ∆AOC (RHS)
AB=AC (all sides in congruent ∆ are equal)
RHS means: R-Right angle, H-Hypogenous and S-Side, in

Proportion Theorem: A line drawn parallel to one side short
of a triangle
we have divides the sides
two equal of the
side and triangle
one pair of equal
proportionally (same ration) angles which becomes sufficient enough to prove
congruency.
AB AE
QUESTION: Given ∆ADC with BE || DC prove with reasons that =
BD EC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construction: Join D with E and C with B, then from
SOLUTION ∆ABE construct two heights namely k and h which will
be perpendicular to AC and AB.
Background Knowledge: You have to recall that

parallel lines are lines in the same or opposite direction
with the same gradients and the distance between
parallel lines at any point is the same. Also know how to
calculate areas of different types of triangles.
PROOF: For simplification purposes I extracted the part

that we will mostly deal with mainly Extraction A and B.
From Extraction A we need to Calculate:

1
Area of ∆ABE (AB)h AB

Construction: Construct AD such that ADꞱAC and
label it h (height), Let AD=X
Background Knowledge: You need to be able to
spot then construct heights of different types of
triangles, recall trigonometric ratios and have a clear
understanding of Pythagoras theorem
Proof: From the construction we now see that we

have two right angled triangles namely ∆ADB and
∆CDB
Using ∆ADB (Yellow)
We let from construction AD=X
𝐴𝐵2 = 𝐴𝐷 2 + 𝐷𝐵2 (𝑃𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑔𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑠 𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑚)
SOLUTION
𝑐 2 = 𝑋 2 + ℎ2
Solve the equation for ℎ2 (making it the subject)
ℎ2 = 𝑐 2 − 𝑋 2 − − − 𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 1
Using ∆CDB
CD=AC-AD
CD= b – x
𝐵𝐶 2 = 𝐶𝐷 2 + 𝐵𝐷 2 (𝑃𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑔𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑠 𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑚)
𝑎2 = ℎ2 + (𝑏 − 𝑥)2
Solve the equation for ℎ2 (making it the subject)
ℎ2 = 𝑎2 − (𝑏 − 𝑥)2 − −𝐸𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 2
Equate equation 2&1 since, ℎ2 = ℎ2 & solve for 𝑎2
𝑎2 − (𝑏 − 𝑥)2 = 𝑐 2 − 𝑋 2
𝑎2 = 𝑐 2 − 𝑥 2 + (𝑏 − 𝑥)2
𝑎2 = 𝑐 2 − 𝑥 2 + (𝑏 2 − 2𝑏𝑥 + 𝑥 2 )
𝑎2 = 𝑐 2 + 𝑏 2 − 2𝑏𝑥
To eliminate X, we will use ∆ADB (Yellow)
