- 1.Here are four trigonometric ratios of special angles. Write down the one that does not have a value.
- 2.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.
- 3.Write down the exact value of cos 30°.
- 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.Three of these are rational numbers and one is irrational. Write down the one that is irrational.
- 6.Work out the exact value of tan 30° + tan 30°.
- 7.Triangle DEF has a right angle at E. Angle DFE = 60° and EF = 9 cm. Work out the exact length of DE.
- 8.Write down the exact value of tan 45°.
- 9.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.
- 10.Work out the exact value of cos 0° − sin 30°.
- 11.Write down the exact value of cos 45°.
- 12.In triangle ABC, angle ABC = 90° and angle BAC = 30°. The hypotenuse AC = 12 cm. Work out the exact length of AB.
- 13.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.
- 14.Write down the exact value of sin 45°.
- 15.Work out the exact value of sin 45° × cos 45°.
