Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Construct a triangle where one side measures 6 cm, the adjacent side measures 8 cm, and the included angle is 60°. Use the grid to draw accurately.
[3 marks]
2.
Calculate the length of the third side of the triangle constructed in Question 1 if the included angle is 60°.
[3 marks]
3.
In a construction, two sides measure 5 cm and 7 cm with an included angle of 45°. Draw this triangle on the grid.
[3 marks]
4.
Using the same construction as Question 3, calculate the length of the third side.
[3 marks]
5.
A carpenter needs to construct a triangular frame with sides 10 cm and 14 cm, with an included angle of 75°. Draw the triangle accurately.
[3 marks]
6.
Calculate the length of the third side of this triangle if the included angle is 75°.
[3 marks]
7.
Construct a triangle with sides 4 cm and 9 cm, and an included angle of 30°. Use the grid to draw precisely.
[3 marks]
8.
Find the length of the third side of the triangle from Question 7, given the included angle of 30°.
[3 marks]
9.
A builder designs a triangular support with sides 12 m and 16 m, and an included angle of 45°. Draw this triangle accurately and find the length of the third side.
[4 marks]
10.
A common mistake is to forget to include the angle when constructing the triangle. Identify a mistake a student might make in constructing the triangle with sides 6 cm, 8 cm, and angle 60°, and explain how to avoid it.
[4 marks]
11.
Using the grid, construct a triangle with sides 7 cm and 9 cm, and an included angle of 45°. Then, calculate the third side length to check your construction.
[4 marks]
12.
Challenge: Given a triangle with sides 8 cm and 10 cm and an included angle of 60°, construct the triangle and verify your result by calculation. How does the Law of Cosines support your construction?
[5 marks]
