I'll help you solve the problems from the image you uploaded. Let's go through each question one by one.

Question 1:

Find the value of $\sin x$, $\cos x$, and $\tan x$.

Given a right triangle with the following sides:

• Opposite side (to angle $x$) = 3 cm
• Hypotenuse = 5 cm

We can use the following trigonometric definitions:

• $\sin x = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
• $\cos x = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
• $\tan x = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$

First, calculate the adjacent side using the Pythagorean theorem: $\text{adjacent}^2 + 3^2 = 5^2$ $\text{adjacent}^2 + 9 = 25$ $\text{adjacent}^2 = 16 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{adjacent} = 4 \text{ cm}$

Now, calculate the trigonometric ratios:

• $\sin x = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6$
• $\cos x = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8$
• $\tan x = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75$

Question 2:

Calculate the angle between $\overrightarrow{OP}$ and $\overrightarrow{OQ}$ for the following equations:

• $P: 2x - y = 3$
• $Q: 3x + 2y = 0$

The angle between two lines can be found using the formula: $\tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1m_2} \right|$ where $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the slopes of the lines.

1. Find the slope ($m_1$) of line $P: 2x - y = 3$: $y = 2x - 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad m_1 = 2$

2. Find the slope ($m_2$) of line $Q: 3x + 2y = 0$: $2y = -3x \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{3}{2}x \quad \Rightarrow \quad m_2 = -\frac{3}{2}$

Substitute $m_1$ and $m_2$ into the formula: $\tan \theta = \left| \frac{2 - \left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)}{1 + 2\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)} \right| = \left| \frac{2 + \frac{3}{2}}{1 - 3} \right| = \left| \frac{\frac{4}{2} + \frac{3}{2}}{-2} \right| = \left| \frac{\frac{7}{2}}{-2} \right| = \frac{7}{4}$ Thus, $\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{7}{4}\right)$.

Question 3:

Find the angles of the triangle with $a = 8.7 \, \text{cm}$, $b = 10.7 \, \text{cm}$, and $c = 11.8 \, \text{cm}$.

This is a non-right triangle, so we can use the Cosine Rule to find the angles. The Cosine Rule states: $\cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc}, \quad \cos B = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac}, \quad \cos C = \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab}$

Let's calculate one angle as an example:

1. Angle $A$: $\cos A = \frac{10.7^2 + 11.8^2 - 8.7^2}{2 \times 10.7 \times 11.8}$ = \frac{178.04}{252.28} \approx 0.7058$$ $$A \approx \cos^{-1}(0.7058) \approx 45.0^\circ$$

Repeat the process for angles $B$ and $C$ using the same method.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are some related questions:

1. How can the tangent of an angle help in determining the slope between two lines?
2. What would be the value of $\sin x$ if the triangle was isosceles with both legs equal?
3. How would you find the area of the triangle in Question 3 using trigonometric methods?
4. Could the sine rule be used to solve Question 3 instead? How?
5. What is the relationship between the angles and sides in a right triangle?

Tip: Always double-check your triangle's classification (right, isosceles, or scalene) before choosing a method to solve for angles or sides.
