Mathematics/P2 2 Hlayiso/Mock 2026
Senior Phase – Marking Guidelines
NOTE:
• If a learner answers a question TWICE, only mark the FIRST attempt.
• Consistent accuracy (CA) applies in ALL aspects of the marking guidelines, unless stated
otherwise. Stop marking at the second calculation error.
• Accept answers rounded correctly to TWO decimal places. Penalise units only where the question
asks for them.
• Accept any other correct method and award marks accordingly.
GEOMETRY
S A mark for a correct statement (a statement mark is independent of a reason).
R A mark for the correct reason (a reason mark may only be awarded if the statement is correct).
S/R Award a mark if the statement AND reason are both correct.
Accept the usual abbreviations, e.g. ∠s on a str line; vert opp ∠s; corresp ∠s, AB∥CD; alt ∠s; co-int
∠s; sum of ∠s in △; ext ∠ of △; ∠s opp = sides; opp ∠s of ∥m.
QUESTION 1
1.1 B (2x + 30◦ = 110◦ , vert opp ∠s, so x = 40◦ ) ✓B (1)
1.2 C (square) ✓C (1)
1.3 A (∠∠∠ gives similar, not necessarily congruent, ✓A (1)
triangles)
1.4 B P′ (−3 ; −4) ✓B (1)
1.5 D 2,4 kℓ = 2,4 m3 = 2 400 000 cm3 ✓D (1)
[5]
QUESTION 2
2.1.1 B̂1 + B̂2 + B̂3 = 180◦ ∠s on a str line ✓ 180◦
✓ reason
x + 2x + 3x − 30◦ = 180◦ Substitution ✓ 210◦
6x = 210◦ ✓ x = 35◦ (4)
∴ x = 35◦

Mathematics/P2 3 Hlayiso/Mock 2026
Senior Phase – Marking Guidelines
2.1.2 B̂3 = 3(35◦ ) − 30◦ = 75◦ ✓ answer (CA from 2.1.1)(1)
2.2 a = GĤK = 68◦ [corresp ∠s; AB ∥ CD] ✓S ✓R (a)
b = GK̂H = 40◦ [alt ∠s; AB ∥ CD] ✓S ✓R (b)
◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ✓S ✓R (c) (6)
c = HĜK = 180 − 68 − 40 = 72 [sum of ∠s in △]
OR
BĜH = 180◦ − 68◦ = 112◦ [∠s on a str line];
c = 112◦ − 40◦ = 72◦
2.3.1 3x + 40◦ + 5x − 20◦ = 180◦ [∠s on a str line] ✓S
8x + 20◦ = 180◦ ✓R
8x = 160◦ ✓ x = 20◦ (3)
x = 20◦
2.3.2 PV̂W = 3(20◦ ) + 40◦ = 100◦ and ✓ both angles = 100◦
VŴS = 4(20◦ ) + 20◦ = 100◦ ✓R (2)
∴ PV̂W = VŴS
∴ PQ ∥ RS [alt ∠s equal]
OR
QV̂W + VŴS = 80◦ + 100◦ = 180◦ ; PQ ∥ RS [co-int
∠s suppl]

Senior Phase – Marking Guidelines
QUESTION 3
3.1.1 Trapezium ✓ answer (1)
3.1.2 Kite ✓ answer (1)
3.1.3 Rhombus ✓ answer (1)
3.2 L̂ = M̂1 [∠s opp = sides] ✓ S/R L̂ = M̂1
◦ ◦ ◦
M̂1 = 180 − (3x − 20 ) = 200 − 3x [∠s on a str line] ✓ S/R M̂1 = 200◦ − 3x
3x − 20◦ = x + 10◦ + (200◦ − 3x) [ext ∠ of △] ✓ S/R ext ∠ / sum of ∠s
5x = 230 ◦ ✓ x = 46◦ (4)
x = 46◦
OR
x + 10◦ + 2(200◦ − 3x) = 180◦ [sum of ∠s in △]
⇒ 5x = 230◦ , x = 46◦
(Check: K̂ = 56◦ , L̂ = M̂1 = 62◦ , KM̂N = 118◦ )
3.3 Â + B̂ = 180◦ [co-int ∠s; AD ∥ BC] ✓S
3y − 10◦ + 2y + 15◦ = 180◦ ✓R
5y = 175◦ ✓ y = 35◦ (3)
y = 35◦
3.4.1 In △AEC and △BED: ✓ AE = EB
AE = EB [given] ✓ CE = ED
CE = ED [given] ✓ S/R
Ê1 = Ê2 [vert opp ∠s] ✓ R (SAS) (4)
∴ △AEC ≡ △BED [SAS / s∠s]
3.4.2 BD = AC [≡ △s] ✓ BD with reason (1)
3.5.1 In △MNP and △RST: ✓ both pairs of angles
M̂ = R̂ [given] ✓ S/R P̂ = T̂
N̂ = Ŝ [given] ✓ R (∠∠∠) (3)
P̂ = T̂ [sum of ∠s in △ / 3rd ∠]
∴ △MNP ||| △RST [∠∠∠]

Senior Phase – Marking Guidelines
QUESTION 5
5.1.1 EC = 15 − 9 = 6 cm and BE = AD = 8 cm ✓ EC = 6 and BE = 8
BC2 = BE2 + EC2 [Pythagoras] ✓ substitution in Pythagoras
BC2 = 82 + 62 = 100 ✓ BC = 10 cm (3)
BC = 10 cm
5.1.2 P = 9 + 10 + 15 + 8 = 42 cm ✓ answer (CA from 5.1.1)(1)
5.1.3 A = 12 (AB + DC) × AD = 12 (9 + 15) × 8 ✓ substitution
= 96 cm2 ✓ answer (2)
OR
rectangle 9 × 8 = 72 plus triangle 12 × 6 × 8 = 24; total
96 cm2
5.2.1 Two semicircles = one full circle with d = 40 m ✓ 2 × 60
P = 2 × 60 + π d = 120 + 3,14 × 40 ✓ 3,14 × 40
= 120 + 125,6 = 245,6 m ✓ 245,6 m (3)
5.2.2 Field area = 60 × 40 + π r2 = 2 400 + 3,14 × 202 ✓ 60 × 40
= 2 400 + 1 256 = 3 656 m2 ✓ 3,14 × 202 (1 256)
Grass = 3 656 − 22 × 3 = 3 656 − 66 = 3 590 m2 ✓ 3 590 m2 (3)
