Trigonometry
Ratios, standard angles, identities, heights and distances
Learn the standard table first; almost every other question uses it. Take A as an acute angle throughout.
Part AComplete the table
Fill in the values. Write "not defined" where needed.
| 0° | 30° | 45° | 60° | 90° | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sin A | |||||
| cos A | |||||
| tan A |
Part BEvaluate
- sin 30° + cos 60°
- 2 tan²45° + cos²30° − sin²60°
- sin 60° cos 30° + sin 30° cos 60°
- (1 − tan²45°) / (1 + tan²45°)
- cos 45° / (sec 30° + cosec 30°)
- (sin 30° + tan 45° − cosec 60°) / (sec 30° + cos 60° + cot 45°)
Part CFind the other ratios
- If sin A = 3/5, find cos A and tan A.
- If tan θ = 8/15, find sin θ and cos θ.
- If sec θ = 13/12, find sin θ and tan θ.
Part DProve
- (1 − cos²A) cosec²A = 1
- (sin θ + cos θ)² = 1 + 2 sin θ cos θ
- sin A/(1 + cos A) + (1 + cos A)/sin A = 2 cosec A
Part EHeights and distances
Draw a neat diagram for each. Use √3 = 1.732 where needed.
- 🗼 From a point 30 m from the foot of a tower, the angle of elevation of its top is 30°. Find the height of the tower.
- 🪁 A kite is flying on a 60 m string that makes an angle of 60° with the ground. How high is the kite? (Assume the string is straight.)
- 🪜 A ladder leans against a wall and makes an angle of 60° with the ground. Its foot is 2.5 m from the wall. Find the length of the ladder.
