ANSWERS

1)a) tan = opp

[1]
adj
height = tan 35 x 126
[1]
height = 882 m [2]
3) sin = opp
[1]
hyp
height =sin 35 x 18
[1]
height = 1032 m
[2]

Trigonometry
b) 2 decimal points

[1]

2) tan = opp
[1]
adj
height = tan 74 x 50
[1]
height = 17437 m
[2]
(1 mark for 174)
[1] 5) sin = opp
[1]
[1]
hyp
x= 029 4 m= 00725 inv sin [1]
[1]
x = 416 degrees [1]
[1] No, the angle is over 4 degrees [1]

because this shows how many

centimetres as well as metres [1]

4) identify use of cos

cos = adj
hyp
MN = 08 x 8
MN = 64 cm

(no marks for just writing NO)

6) sin = opp
hyp
x = sin 78 x 105
x = 1027 miles

7 c) tan = opp
adj
PQ = 16 tan 58
PQ = 9997 = 10 cm

7)a) cos = adj

[1] b) sin = opp
hyp
hyp
LN
=
sin
21 x 12
BAC = 33 50= 066 inv cos
LN = 43 cm
[1]
BAC = 487 degrees [1]

[1] 8) BD : tan = opp

adj
[1]
BD = 25 x 6 = 15 cm
BC : cos = adj
[1]
hyp
y = 15 06
y = 9 degrees

10) a) c = a + b
b) 35000 17000 = 18 000 ft
a = (c- b)
[1]
[1]
18 000 tan 7 = 1465982 ft
AC = (23 - 21)
[1]
[1]
AC = 938 m
[1]
1465982 5280 = 2776
miles
2776 + 12 = 3976 miles [1]
= 39 miles 400ft [1]
11) a) sin = opp
[1]
c) angle ACB = 180 (90 + 30)
hyp
= 60
x= 8 16= 05 inv sin [1]
[1]
x = 30 degrees
[1]

b) tan = opp
adj
AC = tan 32 x 16
AC = 999 = 10 cm

b)could use sin, cos or tan e.g.

sin = opp
[1]
hyp
BCA = 21 23 = 0913etc invsin
= 6592
[1]
BCA = 66 degrees [1]

12) a) adjacent side = 8 4 = 2m

cos = adj
[1]
hyp
x = 2 8= 025 inv cos [1]
x = 755 degrees [1]
b) use tan or sin e.g
height = tan 755 x 2
height = 773 m

hyp
BC = cos 60 x 10
BC = 5 cm

9) a) tan = opp
adj
height = tan 15 x 12
height = 322 miles
height = 322 x 5280 ft
= 170016 ft
= 17000 ft
