Card 1Introduction to Right Triangle Solutions

What does it mean to 'solve a right-angled triangle'?

Answer

To solve a right-angled triangle means to find the values of remaining angles and remaining sides when: (i) one side and one acute angle are given, or (ii) two sides of the triangle are given.

Card 2Solution Methods

What is the general approach when one side and one acute angle of a right-angled triangle are given?

Answer

We take (unknown side)/(known side) = corresponding trigonometrical ratio of the given angle. This allows us to set up an equation to solve for the unknown side.

Card 3Problem Solving Examples

In a right triangle ABC with right angle at B, if BC = 20 cm and angle A = 30°, find AB.

Answer

Using cot 30° = AB/BC AB/20 = √3 AB = 20 × √3 = 20 × 1.732 = 34.64 cm

Card 4Trigonometric Ratios

What trigonometric ratio would you use to find an unknown angle when you know the opposite side and hypotenuse?

Answer

Use the sine ratio: sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse. To find the angle, use θ = sin⁻¹(opposite/hypotenuse) or compare with standard values like sin 30° = 1/2, sin 45° = 1/√2, sin 60° = √3/2.

Card 5Standard Trigonometric Values

If sin x° = 1/2, what is the value of x°?

Answer

x° = 30°, because sin 30° = 1/2. This is one of the standard trigonometric values that should be memorized.

Card 6Standard Trigonometric Values

If tan y° = 1, what is the value of y°?

Answer

y° = 45°, because tan 45° = 1. This is another standard trigonometric value.

Card 7Applications to Polygons

In a rhombus with side length 10 cm and angle 60°, how do you find the diagonal lengths?

Answer

The diagonals bisect each other at right angles and bisect the vertex angles. Use the right triangle formed: if ∠A = 60°, then ∠OAB = 30°. In triangle AOB: OB = AB × sin 30° = 5 cm, OA = AB × cos 30°

Card 8Standard Trigonometric Values

What are the standard values of sin 30°, sin 45°, and sin 60°?

Answer

sin 30° = 1/2 sin 45° = 1/√2 sin 60° = √3/2
