Practice Questions
1. A person standing 50 meters from a tree sees the angle of elevation to the top of the tree as 45°. What is the height of the tree?
Answer: 50 meters. Height = distance * tan(45°).
2. If sin A = 0.6, find the value of θ such that A = 30° + θ.
Answer: 6.87°. Use inverse sine and subtract 30°.
3. Find the length of the opposite side of a triangle if the adjacent side is 9 m and angle A is 60°.
Answer: 9√3 m. Using opposite = adjacent * tan A.
4. What is the value of sec 30°?
Answer: 2/√3 or ≈ 1.1547.
5. If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 15 cm, and one leg is 9 cm, what is the length of the other leg?
Answer: 12 cm. Using the Pythagorean Theorem.
6. A ladder 10 meters long is leaning against a vertical wall. If the ladder makes an angle of 60° with the ground, how high up the wall does the ladder reach?
Answer: 8.66 meters. Use sin 60° = height / 10.
7. Find the value of cos 45° + sin 45°.
Answer: √2 or approximately 1.414.
8. In a triangle ABC, if angle A = 45°, angle B = 60°, and side c = 10 cm, find the length of side a.
Answer: 8.39 cm. Use the sine law: a/sin A = c/sin C.
9. What is the value of tan 60° – cot 30°?
Answer: 0. tan 60° = √3 and cot 30° = √3.
10. A tower casts a shadow 40 meters long when the sun’s elevation is 30°. What is the height of the tower?
Answer: 23.09 meters. Use tan 30° = height / 40.
