Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the length of side AB in a right-angled triangle where angle C is 30°, and side AC (adjacent to angle C) measures 10 cm. Use SOH.
[3 marks]2.
In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is 15 cm and the angle opposite side BC is 45°. Find the length of side BC. (Use SOH).
[3 marks]3.
Construct a right-angled triangle where the side opposite 60° is 12 cm. Calculate the length of the hypotenuse.
[4 marks]4.
A ladder leans against a wall, making a 50° angle with the ground. If the ladder is 8 meters long, find the height it reaches on the wall.
[4 marks]5.
A tree casts a shadow 6 meters long when the Sun's angle of elevation is 40°. How tall is the tree?
[4 marks]6.
Calculate the length of side AC in a right triangle where angle B is 45°, and side AB (adjacent to B) is 8 cm.
[3 marks]7.
A helicopter climbs at a 30° angle to the ground. If the vertical height gained is 150 meters, find the horizontal distance traveled.
[4 marks]8.
A right triangle has sides of lengths 7 and 24. Find the length of the hypotenuse, assuming the 7-unit side is opposite to a 20° angle. Use SOH.
[4 marks]9.
Identify the mistake: A student finds side AB as 10 cm knowing angle C is 45° and side AC (adjacent to C) is 7 cm, using SOH. The student says the hypotenuse is 7√2 cm. Correct or incorrect? Explain.
[4 marks]10.
Challenge: In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is 20 cm and the angle opposite side BC is 60°. Find the length of side BC and side AC.
