[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.
