| Topic | Circles |
| Type | Tangent equation at a known point on circle |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.3 This is a straightforward multi-part circle question requiring standard techniques: writing circle equation from centre/radius, finding tangent using perpendicular gradient, verifying a point on a line, and calculating triangle area. All parts are routine C1 exercises with clear methods and no problem-solving insight required, making it slightly easier than average. |
