- 1.A cable supporting a flagpole is anchored to the ground 5 m from the base of the pole. The cable makes an angle of 60° with the ground. Using the exact value of tan 60°, work out the exact height of the flagpole.
- 2.Write down the exact value of sin 60°.
- 3.Write down the exact value of cos 60°.
- 4.A pop-up canopy has two sloping supports that meet at the top. Each support makes an angle of 30° with the ground and is 6 m long. Using the exact value of cos 30°, work out the total width of the canopy's base.
- 5.Work out the exact value of cos 0° − sin 30°.
- 6.Write down the exact value of tan 60°.
- 7.Three of these are rational numbers and one is irrational. Write down the one that is irrational.
- 8.A ramp rises at 30° to the horizontal. Its sloping surface is 4.8 m long. Safety rules say the vertical rise of a ramp must be no more than 2.5 m. Work out how far below that limit the rise of this ramp is.
- 9.Here are four trigonometric ratios of special angles. Write down the one that does not have a value.
- 10.In triangle ABC, angle ABC = 90° and angle BAC = 30°. The hypotenuse AC = 12 cm. Work out the exact length of AB.
- 11.Work out the exact value of sin 45° × cos 45°.
- 12.Work out the exact value of tan 30° + tan 30°.
- 13.Triangle DEF has a right angle at E. Angle DFE = 60° and EF = 9 cm. Work out the exact length of DE.
- 14.Work out the exact value of (cos 45°)² + (sin 45°)².
- 15.Write down the exact value of tan 45°.
