1) The figure below shows a right angled triangle ABC and a circle.

CB is the diameter of 4m and BD has a

length of 3. Find
A
i. sin A
ii. length of AC D
iii. length of AD

Show that the area of ABC is

2) From a position 150 m above the ground, an observer in a building measures angles of depression of
12 and 34 to the top and bottom, respectively, of a smaller building, as in the picture below. Use this to
find the height h of the smaller building

150 m

3) Two banks of a river are parallel, and the distance between two points A and B along one bank is 500m.
For a point C on the opposite bank, BAC = 56 and ABC = 41 , as in the picture on the right. What
is the width w of the river?
A 500m B

56 41

C
4) A ball bearing sits between two metal grooves, with the top groove having an angle of 120 and the
bottom groove having an angle of 90 , as in the picture below. What must the diameter of the ball
bearing be for the distance between the vertexes of the grooves to be 2cm? You may assume that the
top vertex is directly above the bottom vertex.

2cm

5) In the figure on the right, BAC = and BC = a. Use this to find AB, AC, AD, DC, CE, and DE in terms
of and a.

A C

D E

6) It can be proved without using trigonometric functions that the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative
reciprocals. Let y = m1x + b1 and y = m2x + b2 be perpendicular lines (with nonzero slopes), as in the
picture below. Use the picture to show that
1
2 =
1
. (Hint: Think of similar triangles and the definition of slope.)
