    Exercise

    1. Solve the triangle ABC in which A = 66, B = 42 and c = 12 cm.

    2. Find two possible values of c in triangle ABC given that a = 16 cm,
    b = 10 cm, and B = 30.

    3. Solve the triangle ABC in which a = 6 cm, b = 9 cm and C = 97.

    4. Solve the triangle PQR in which p = 8 cm, q = 9 cm and r = 10 cm.

    5. In triangle XYZ, X = 100, Y = 30 and XY = 10 cm. Calculate the area of the
    triangle.

    6. The area of a triangle is 12 cm
    2
    . Two of the sides are of lengths 6 cm and
    7 cm. Calculate possible lengths for the third side.

    7. A ship S is 6.8 km from a lighthouse on a bearing of 310. A second ship T is 8.4
    km from the lighthouse on a bearing 075. Calculate ST and the bearing of T from
    S correct to the nearest degree.

    8. A golfer hits a ball B a distance of 170 m on a hole that measures 195 m from tee
    to hole. If his shot is directed 10 away from the direct line to the hole, find how
    far his ball is from the hole.

    9. Calculate AB in the diagram below given that CD is 15 m, angle BCA = 40 and
    angle BDA = 20.







    10. A tower stands on a slope inclined at 18 to the horizontal. From a point lower
    down the slope and 150 m from the base of the tower, the angle of elevation of
    the top of the tower is 9.5. Find the height of the tower.

    11. A barge is moving at a constant speed along a straight canal. The angle of
    elevation of a bridge is 10. After 10 minutes the angle of elevation is 15. After
    how much longer does the barge reach the bridge? Give your answer to the
    nearest second.
