- 1.A right-angled triangle has a hypotenuse of 10 cm. One of its other angles is 45°. Work out the exact length of one of the two shorter sides.
- 2.Work out the exact value of tan 30° + tan 30°.
- 3.Write down the exact value of cos 60°.
- 4.Work out the exact value of (cos 45°)² + (sin 45°)².
- 5.Write down the exact value of sin 45°.
- 6.A zip-wire is fixed at an angle of 60° to the horizontal ground. The zip-wire is 12 m long. Using the exact value of cos 60°, work out the exact horizontal distance it covers.
- 7.Each of these has an exact value. Write down the one whose value is the greatest.
- 8.A tent's sloping side makes an angle of 45° with the ground. The sloping side is 3√2 m long. Using the exact value of sin 45°, work out the exact height of the tent.
- 9.A ladder rests against a wall, making an angle of 60° with the ground. The ladder is 2 m long. Using the exact value of sin 60°, work out how high up the wall the ladder reaches, giving your answer in centimetres.
- 10.Write down the exact value of tan 60°.
