Answer Key - Geometry Trigonometry Quiz

1. $\cos \angle RPQ = \frac{7}{12} \approx 0.583$ [1] 2. $\theta = \sin^{-1}(0.65) = 40.5^\circ$ [1] 3. $\angle ACB = \frac{1}{2} \angle AOB = \frac{1}{2}(110^\circ) = 55.0^\circ$ [2] 4. Area total = $100\pi$ ; Area inner = $36\pi$ ; Shaded = $64\pi$ . $P = \frac{64\pi}{100\pi} = 0.640$ [2] 5. $(A \cup B)'$ or $A' \cap B'$ [2] 6. Area = $\frac{1}{2}(5.4)(8.1)\sin(42^\circ) \approx 11.6\text{ cm}^2$ [2] 7. $3n + 1$ [2] 8. $\tan 35^\circ = \frac{\text{opp}}{12} \implies \text{opp} = 12 \times 0.700 = 8.4\text{ cm}$ [2] 9. $AOBCD$ is a diameter of big circle = $30\text{ cm}$ . $CD = 4\text{ cm}$ . The diameter of the small circle is $30 - 4 = 26\text{ cm}$ . Radius = $13\text{ cm}$ . [3] 10. $\frac{120}{360} \times 360 = 120$ students. [2] 11. $\frac{\sin X}{14} = \frac{\sin 38^\circ}{11} \implies \sin X = \frac{14 \sin 38^\circ}{11} \approx 0.874 \implies X = 60.9^\circ$ [3] 12. Base $AB = 8 - 2 = 6$ . Height = $5 - 1 = 4$ . Area = $\frac{1}{2}(6)(4) = 12$ . Since the area is already 12 for any $x$ as long as the height is 4 and base is 6, $x$ can be any value if the point $C$ is on the line $y=5$ and the base is $AB$ . However, if the question implies a specific triangle shape or $x$ coordinate, usually $x$ is solved via the coordinate area formula. For $C(x, 5)$ , Area = $\frac{1}{2} |2(1-5) + 8(5-1) + x(1-1)| = \frac{1}{2} |-8 + 32| = 12$ . $x$ can be any real number. [3] 13. $PR^2 = 6.2^2 + 9.5^2 - 2(6.2)(9.5)\cos(115^\circ) \approx 38.44 + 90.25 - (-48.31) = 176.99 \implies PR = 13.3\text{ cm}$ [3] 14. Area rect = 80. Area semi = $\frac{1}{2}\pi(2^2) = 2\pi \approx 6.28$ . $P = \frac{80 - 6.28}{80} = 0.921$ [3] 15. $A \cap B'$ or $A \setminus B$ [2] 16. Radius $r^2 = 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100 \implies r = 10\text{ cm}$ [3] 17. $\angle PQR = 180 - (150-60) = 90^\circ$ (or use geometry). $PR^2 = 15^2 + 22^2 = 225 + 484 = 709 \implies PR = 26.6\text{ km}$ [4] 18. $\tan \angle QRP = \frac{15}{22} \implies \angle QRP = 34.3^\circ$ . Bearing of $P$ from $R$ is $150 + 180 - 34.3 = 295.7^\circ$ (or similar calculation) [4] 19. $R + r = 12$ (external) or $R - r = 12$ (internal). If external: $3r + r = 12 \implies 4r = 12 \implies r = 3, R = 9$ . [4] 20. $25 = \frac{1}{2}(7)(10)\sin A \implies \sin A = \frac{50}{70} = 0.714$ . $A = 45.6^\circ$ or $A = 180 - 45.6 = 134.4^\circ$ . [4]
