3. Find the value of : The lengths of two sides of a
right-angled triangle are
provided. Use this
information to find the size
of the two interior acute
angles:
c) Hypotenuse 0.4mm,
adjacent 0.21mm
4. Find the value of  and , The lengths of two sides of a
to one decimal place where right-angled triangle are
necessary, for the special provided. Use this
triangle information to find the size
of the two interior acute
angles:
d) Opposite 2.3km,
adjacent 5.2km
5. Find the value of  and , The lengths of two sides of a
to one decimal place where right-angled triangle are
necessary, for the special provided. Use this
triangle: information to find the size
of the two interior acute
angles:
e) Opposite 0.32cm,
adjacent 0.04cm
A tarpaulin with a simple A-frame
design is set up as a shelter. The
width of half of the tarpaulin is 2.9
metres. Find the angle to the ground
that the sides of the tarpaulin make
if the height at the middle of the
shelter is 1.5metres. Round answer
to nearest
0.1 of a
degree.
You are 200 metres from a river.
Rather than walking directly to the
river, you walk 400 metres along a
straight path to the river’s edge.
Find the acute angle between the
path and the river’s edge.
A fire department’s longest ladder is
33.5 metres long and the safety
regulation states that they can use it
for rescues up to 30.5 metres off the
ground. What is the maximum safe
angle of elevation for the rescue
ladder?
6. Find the value of  and , The lengths of two sides of a
to one decimal place where right-angled triangle are
necessary, for the special provided. Use this
triangle: information to find the size
of the two interior acute
angles:
f) Opposite √5cm,
hypotenuse √11cm.
A swimming pool is 30 metres long
and 12 metres wide. The bottom of
the pool is slanted so that the water
depth is 1.3 metres at the shallow
end and 4 metres at the deep end.
Find the angle of depression of the
bottom of the pool.
