Answer Key - Geometry Trigonometry Quiz

1. $\tan R = \frac{PQ}{PR} = \frac{7}{12}$ (Exact value)

2. $\theta = \sin^{-1}(0.652) = 40.7^\circ$

3. Area total = $100\pi$; Area inner = $36\pi$; Shaded = $64\pi$. $P = \frac{64\pi}{100\pi} = 0.64$

4. $\angle ACB = \frac{1}{2} \angle AOB = 55^\circ$

5. $0.5$ or $\frac{1}{2}$

6. Exterior angle = $180 - 156 = 24^\circ$. Number of sides = $360 / 24 = 15$

7. Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 8 \times \sin(42^\circ) = 13.4$ cm$^2$

8. $(A \cup B)'$ or $A' \cap B'$

9. First term $a=4$, difference $d=3$. Expression: $3n + 1$

10. Angle = $\frac{45}{180} \times 360^\circ = 90^\circ$

11. $XZ^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2(6)(10)\cos(115^\circ) = 36 + 100 - (-50.71) = 186.71$. $XZ = 13.7$ cm

12. $PT^2 = PO^2 - OT^2 = 13^2 - 5^2 = 169 - 25 = 144$. $PT = 12$ cm

13. $\frac{AC}{\sin 75^\circ} = \frac{12}{\sin 40^\circ} \implies AC = \frac{12 \times \sin 75^\circ}{\sin 40^\circ} = 17.6$ cm

14. Base $AB = 6-2 = 4$. Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times |k-1| = 10 \implies |k-1| = 5$. $k = 6$ or $k = -4$

15. $\theta = \frac{s}{r} = \frac{4.5}{7} = 0.643$ rad

16. (a) $PR^2 = 11^2 + 15^2 - 2(11)(15)\cos(62^\circ) = 121 + 225 - 126.3 = 219.7$. $PR = 14.8$ cm (b) Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times 11 \times 15 \times \sin(62^\circ) = 77.5$ cm$^2$

17. Area square = $14^2 = 196$. Area circle = $\pi(3.5)^2 = 38.48$. $P = \frac{196 - 38.48}{196} = 0.804$

18. Radius $r^2 = 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100$. $r = 10$ cm

19. (a) The region outside the union of sets A and B. (b) $n(A \cup B) = 20 + 25 - 8 = 37$. $n(A \cup B)' = 50 - 37 = 13$
