METHOD 1

consider for example triangle ADM where M is the midpoint of BD M1

$\sin \frac{\alpha }{4} = \frac{1}{4}$ A1

$\frac{\alpha }{4} = \arcsin \frac{1}{4}$

$\alpha = 4\arcsin \frac{1}{4}$ AG

METHOD 2

attempting to use the cosine rule (to obtain $1 - \cos \frac{\alpha }{2} = \frac{1}{8}$ ) M1

$\sin \frac{\alpha }{4} = \frac{1}{4}$ (obtained from $\sin \frac{\alpha }{4} = \sqrt {\frac{{1 - \cos \frac{\alpha }{2}}}{2}}$ ) A1

$\frac{\alpha }{4} = \arcsin \frac{1}{4}$

$\alpha = 4\arcsin \frac{1}{4}$ AG

METHOD 3

$\sin \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - \frac{\alpha }{4}} \right) = 2\sin \frac{\alpha }{2}$ where $\frac{\theta }{2} = \frac{\pi }{2} - \frac{\alpha }{4}$

$\cos \frac{\alpha }{4} = 4\sin \frac{\alpha }{4}\cos \frac{\alpha }{4}$ M1

Note: Award M1 either for use of the double angle formula or the conversion from sine to cosine.

$\frac{1}{4} = \sin \frac{\alpha }{4}$ A1

$\frac{\alpha }{4} = \arcsin \frac{1}{4}$

$\alpha = 4\arcsin \frac{1}{4}$ AG

[2 marks]

(from triangle ADM), $\theta = \pi - \frac{\alpha }{2}{\text{ }}\left( { = \pi - 2\arcsin \frac{1}{4} = 2\arcsin \frac{1}{4} = 2.6362 \ldots } \right)$ A1

attempting to solve $2(\alpha - \sin \alpha ){r^2} + \frac{1}{2}(\theta - \sin \theta ){r^2} = 4$

with $\alpha = 4\arcsin \frac{1}{4}$ and $\theta = \pi - \frac{\alpha }{2}{\text{ }}\left( { = 2\arccos \frac{1}{4}} \right)$ for $r$ (M1)

$r = 1.69$ A1
