Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the angle in degrees, θ, such that sin(θ) = 0.6.
[2 marks]2.
Find the value of θ (in degrees) where cos(θ) = 0.8, using inverse cosine.
[2 marks]3.
Determine θ in degrees if tan(θ) = 1.5.
[2 marks]4.
Construct a triangle where one angle is 30°, and the sine of another angle is 0.5. Show the approximate value of that angle in degrees.
[3 marks]5.
If sin(α) = 0.75, find α in degrees using inverse sine. Round to two decimal places.
[2 marks]6.
A ladder leans against a wall making an angle of 60°. If the length of the ladder is 10 meters, find the height it reaches on the wall, using inverse functions.
[4 marks]7.
Calculate the inverse cosine of 0.3 to find the angle in degrees.
[2 marks]8.
A car turns at a radius of 50 meters making an angle of 45° with the radius. Find the angle of the car’s velocity vector relative to the radius using inverse tangent.
[3 marks]9.
A surveyor measures a slope where tan(θ) = 2. The surveyor needs to find θ in degrees. Calculate this using inverse tangent.
[2 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student states that sin⁻¹(1) = 90°. Is this correct? Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]11.
A cyclist looks at a tower and finds that the angle of elevation is 75°. If the height of the tower is 120 meters, what is the horizontal distance from the cyclist to the tower? Use inverse tangent.
