Example:

A ladder 5 m long, leaning against a vertical wall makes an angle of 65 with the ground. a) How high on the wall does the ladder reach? b) How far is the foot of the ladder from the wall? c) What angle does the ladder make with the wall?

Solution:

a) The height that the ladder reach is PQ

PQ = sin 65 5 = 4.53 m
b) The distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall is RQ.

RQ = cos 65 5 = 2.11 m
c) The angle that the ladder makes with the wall is angle P Questions 14: A central angle t of a circle with radius 2 meters subtends an arc of length 1.5 meters. Find angle t in degrees. Solution to Question 14: The use of the arc length formula s = r t where t is the angle (in radians) that subtends an arc of length s gives 1.5 = 2 t Solve for t to obtain t = 1.5 / 2 = 0.75 (radians) We now convert t in degrees t = 0.75 * 180 / Pi = 42.97 degrees (rounded to 2 decimal places)

sin y + sin y cot2 y = csc y

Prove that

sin x cos x tan x = 1 cos2 x

1. Prove that

tan x + cot x = sec x csc x

2. Prove that

Sum Formulas sin(x + y) = sin x * cos y + cos x * sin y cos(x + y) = cos x * cos y - sin x * sin y tan(x + y) = [tan x + tan y] / [1 - tanx * tany]

Difference Formulas sin(x - y) = sin x * cos y - cos x * sin y cos(x - y) = cos x * cos y + sin x * sin y tan(x - y) = [tan x - tan y] / [1 + tanx * tany]
