Grade Year 9
A
Fluency & Practice
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
In a gaming design, a triangular obstacle has sides of 5 meters and 8 meters, with an included angle of 60°. Calculate the length of the third side using the sine rule.
[3 marks]2.
A drone's camera captures a triangle of terrain where two sides are 12 meters and 15 meters, with an angle of 45° between them. Find the missing side length.
[3 marks]3.
A virtual reality headset projects a triangle where sides are 7 and 10 units, with an angle of 75°. Find the length of the third side.
[3 marks]B
Problem Solving & Reasoning
Answer all questions. Use detailed working and explanations where appropriate.
1.
A gaming robot moves along a triangular path where sides are 9 meters and 14 meters, with an included angle of 30°. Due to software calibration, it needs to find the third side to optimize its path. Calculate the third side length and explain how the sine rule is used.
[4 marks]2.
In a gaming environment, a virtual triangle is constructed with sides of 6, 9, and an unknown side. The angle between the known sides is 50°. Use the sine rule to find the unknown side.
[4 marks]C
Real-world Applications
Answer all questions in context. Show all calculations and reasoning.
1.
A gaming arena uses triangular LED screens arranged with sides of 10 meters and 12 meters, with an angle of 65° between them. To set up a third screen that fits perfectly, determine the required length of the third side using the sine rule.
[4 marks]2.
In a virtual gaming simulation, a triangle representing a network signal has sides of 8 meters and 13 meters with an included angle of 40°. Find the length of the third side that connects the points.
[3 marks]D
Challenge & Extension
Attempt these more difficult questions. Provide detailed working.
1.
A gaming drone surveys a triangular area where two sides are 20 meters and 25 meters, with an angle of 55°. The drone's software requires the third side length to optimize flight. Find this side length and discuss the impact of measurement errors on the calculation.
[4 marks]2.
Design a triangle within a gaming setup where two sides are 9 meters and 15 meters, and the included angle is 80°. Use the sine rule to determine the third side, then analyze how changing the angle affects the side length.
[4 marks]E
Mixed Review & Error Analysis
Complete the variety of questions, paying attention to common mistakes.
1.
A triangle in a gaming simulation has sides 11 and 14 meters with an included angle of 70°. A student calculates the third side as 20 meters. Identify and correct the mistake in their calculation.
[3 marks]2.
Explain why assuming the sine rule directly applies to find an angle in a non-angled triangle leads to errors, and how to correctly apply it.
