Class Work 1

This document contains 11 exercises involving applications of trigonometric ratios and rules in triangles. Exercise 1 involves finding the length of sides and an angle in a rhombus given two diagonal lengths. Exercise 2 uses trigonometry to calculate the maximum distance between highest and lowest points of a pendulum swing. Exercise 3 uses trigonometry to find the length of a string holding a picture given the distance between attachment points and an angle of the string.

❖ Exercise 1:
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles. If
BD = AC = 10 cm, find:
a) the length of the sides of the rhombus
b) the magnitude of angle ABC .

❖ Exercise 2:
A pendulum swings from the vertical through an angle of 15° on each
side of the vertical. If the pendulum is 90 cm long, what is the distance,
x cm, between its highest and lowest points?

❖ Exercise 3:
A picture is hung symmetrically by means of a string passing over a
nail, with the ends of the string attached to two rings on the upper
edge of the picture. The distance between the rings is 30 cm, and the
string makes an angle of 105° at the nail. Find the length of the
string.

❖ Exercise 4:
The triangle shown has perimeter 10. Find the value of x .

❖ Exercise 5:
Consider the circle with equation x 2 + y 2 − 4 y = 0 and the point P(5, 2) . Draw a diagram to
show the circle and the two lines from P that are tangent to the circle. Find the angle between
the two tangent lines, APB , where A and B are the two points of contact.
