Question 7

In this question, you need to find the value of yy using the sine ratio, given the triangle.

The triangle provided has an angle of 3434^\circ and the hypotenuse is 1010 units. We use the sine function:

sin34=oppositehypotenuse=y10\sin 34^\circ = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{y}{10}

To find yy:

y=10×sin34y = 10 \times \sin 34^\circ

Using a calculator:

sin340.5592\sin 34^\circ \approx 0.5592

So,

y=10×0.5592=5.592y = 10 \times 0.5592 = 5.592

Question 8

In this question, you need to calculate the value of yy using the cosine ratio, given the triangle.

The triangle provided has an angle of 2828^\circ, the hypotenuse is 1717 units, and you need to find the adjacent side yy:

cos28=y17\cos 28^\circ = \frac{y}{17}

To find yy:

y=17×cos28y = 17 \times \cos 28^\circ

Using a calculator:

cos280.8829\cos 28^\circ \approx 0.8829

So,

y=17×0.882915.009y = 17 \times 0.8829 \approx 15.009

Question 9

In this question, you need to use the tangent ratio to calculate the length of PQPQ, the side opposite the angle 6464^\circ.

The triangle provided has an angle of 6464^\circ and the adjacent side QR=5QR = 5 units. We use the tangent function:

tan64=oppositeadjacent=PQ5\tan 64^\circ = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{PQ}{5}

To find PQPQ:

PQ=5×tan64PQ = 5 \times \tan 64^\circ

Using a calculator:

tan642.0503\tan 64^\circ \approx 2.0503

So,

PQ=5×2.050310.252PQ = 5 \times 2.0503 \approx 10.252

Answers:

  1. Question 7: y5.592y \approx 5.592
  2. Question 8: y15.009y \approx 15.009
  3. Question 9: PQ10.252PQ \approx 10.252
