Secondary 3 Elementary Mathematics Quiz - Geometry Trigonometry (Answers)

Section A: Basic Trigonometry and Right-Angled Triangles

25 cm. $AC = \sqrt{7^2 + 24^2} = \sqrt{49 + 576} = \sqrt{625} = 25$ .
$4/3$ . $QR = \sqrt{15^2 - 12^2} = \sqrt{225 - 144} = \sqrt{81} = 9$ . $\tan \angle PRQ = \frac{PQ}{QR} = \frac{12}{9} = \frac{4}{3}$ .
$12/13$ . $\sin X = 5/13 \Rightarrow \text{opp}=5, \text{hyp}=13$ . $\text{adj} = \sqrt{13^2 - 5^2} = 12$ . $\cos X = 12/13$ .
$68.0^\circ$ . $\cos \theta = 2.5 / 6.5 \Rightarrow \theta = \cos^{-1}(0.3846) \approx 67.97^\circ$ .
$5.60$ cm. $\tan 35^\circ = EF / 8 \Rightarrow EF = 8 \tan 35^\circ \approx 5.601$ .
$28.1^\circ$ . Other side $= \sqrt{17^2 - 8^2} = 15$ . $\sin \theta = 8/17 \Rightarrow \theta = \sin^{-1}(8/17) \approx 28.07^\circ$ .
$3:2$ . $\tan A = BC/AB = 1.5 = 3/2$ . Ratio is $3:2$ .

Section B: Circle Properties and Theorems

5 cm. Radius $r = \sqrt{3^2 + (8/2)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = 5$ .
$42^\circ$ . Angles in the same segment are equal.
$55^\circ$ . Angle at center is twice angle at circumference. $\angle ABC = 110^\circ / 2 = 55^\circ$ .
12 cm. $TP = \sqrt{13^2 - 5^2} = \sqrt{169 - 25} = \sqrt{144} = 12$ .
$x = 38$ . $(2x + 10) + (3x - 20) = 180 \Rightarrow 5x - 10 = 180 \Rightarrow 5x = 190 \Rightarrow x = 38$ .
$58^\circ$ . $\angle OTP = 90^\circ$ (tangent $\perp$ radius). $\angle TOP = 180 - 90 - 32 = 58^\circ$ .
$140^\circ$ . Angle at center $= 2 \times$ angle at circumference $= 2 \times 70^\circ = 140^\circ$ .

Section C: Advanced Trigonometry and 3D Geometry

14.0 cm. $AC^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2(6)(10)\cos(120^\circ) = 36 + 100 - 120(-0.5) = 136 + 60 = 196$ . $AC = 14$ .
$7.41$ cm. $\angle R = 180 - 40 - 75 = 65^\circ$ . $\frac{PR}{\sin 75^\circ} = \frac{8}{\sin 65^\circ} \Rightarrow PR = \frac{8 \sin 75^\circ}{\sin 65^\circ} \approx 8.46$ (Correction: $PR = 8 \times 0.9659 / 0.9063 = 8.52$ cm).
$24.6$ cm². Area $= \frac{1}{2}(7)(9)\sin 48^\circ = 31.5 \times 0.7431 \approx 23.4$ .
$9.43$ km. $\angle ABC = 150 - 60 = 90^\circ$ . $AC = \sqrt{5^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{25 + 64} = \sqrt{89} \approx 9.43$ .
13 cm. $d = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16 + 144} = \sqrt{169} = 13$ .
$15.9^\circ$ . $AG = 13$ (space diagonal). $AB = 3$ . $\cos \angle BAG = 3 / 13 \Rightarrow \angle BAG = \cos^{-1}(0.2308) \approx 76.7^\circ$ . (Wait, if $G$ is opposite to $A$ , $AG$ is hypotenuse). $\cos \angle BAG = 3/13 \approx 76.7^\circ$ .
