Using trigonometry, and find the value for x:

Cos 37 = adj / hyp

Cos 37 = x / 11

11 Cos 37 = x

x = 8.789

In this right triangle 

CAB, ∠A=90°.  Determine ∠B  to the nearest whole degree when  CB=12.8 and AB=3.9. 



Cos = A/H

Cos = 3.9/12.8

Cos-1 = 0.30

The 2024 Paintball Championship was near the end of the game and there was only one left standing on each team; Vox on the blue team and Vella on the red team.  

Vella was standing behind a make shift wall, which was standing at 5m tall.  

Vox was hiding in a snipers tower and because of all his hard work within the trigonometry unit he calculated the angle of elevation from top of his tower was 35 degrees.

Because Vella is an expert in trigonometry she knew that the angle of depression was 10 degrees at the base of Vox’s sniper tower.

Vella was trying to determine the height of Vox’s sniper tower to see if she could get a clear shot.   Round to the nearest metre.

Using trigonometry, calculate the value for x:

Sin 28 = opp / hyp

Sin 28 = x / 50

50 times .469 = x

x = 23.450m

In right triangle ADC, ∠D=90° and AD=5.6, AC=8.4. How big is the angle ∠ACD, rounded to one decimal place? 

sin0 = O/H

sin0 = 5.6/8.4

sin0 = 0.66

sin-1 = 41.8 degrees

Find BOTH missing angles and the missing side.

Angle Z is the right angle.

Missing side = 29 cm or 28.777cm if you used trig.

Angle X = 44 degrees

Angle Y = 46 degrees
