Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the bearing from point A to point B if the angle measured clockwise from North at point A is 045°. The distance between A and B is 150 meters.
[2 marks]
2.
A ship is located at point C. Its bearing from a lighthouse at point D is 120°. The lighthouse to ship distance is 200 meters. Calculate the bearing of the lighthouse from the ship.
[3 marks]
3.
Construct a triangle on the grid with sides measuring 80 meters, 120 meters, and 100 meters. Label the angles, assuming the side of 80 meters is between the 120 and 100 meters sides.
[4 marks]
4.
A vehicle travels from point P to point Q, which is 250 meters away. Its bearing from P to Q is 330°. What is the bearing from Q back to P?
[2 marks]
5.
Aerial survey shows a straight road with a bearing of 060° from point R to point S. If the distance between R and S is 300 meters, find the bearing from S back to R.
[2 marks]
6.
A boat is sailing at a bearing of 045° from the lighthouse. After 2 hours, it has traveled 50 km. Calculate its new bearing from the lighthouse assuming it maintains its course.
[3 marks]
7.
In a triangular plot, side AB measures 70 meters, side BC measures 100 meters, and side AC measures 80 meters. Calculate the measure of angle ABC using the cosine rule.
[4 marks]
8.
A pilot measures a bearing of 135° from his aircraft to a mountain. He then changes course to a bearing of 090°. If the mountain remains stationary 20 km from his starting point, what is the approximate distance from the aircraft to the mountain after the course change?
[4 marks]
9.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student calculates the bearing from point M to N as 180° when the correct bearing should be 360°. Explain what is wrong and provide the correct value.
[2 marks]
10.
A ship at point X observes a lighthouse at a bearing of 075°. After moving 100 km due north, the ship observes the lighthouse at a bearing of 105°. Calculate the approximate distance between the ship's initial and final positions.
[3 marks]
11.
Challenge: On the grid, construct a triangle with sides 150 meters, 200 meters, and 250 meters. Then, calculate the angles using the cosine rule and verify if the triangle is right-angled.
[4 marks]
