WORKSHEET 1
The design must fulfill the following criteria:
(i)
done on A4 paper
(ii)
based on various types of triangles
(iii)
in colour
(iv)
include the words Happy Birthday
WORKSHEET 2
*

Any suitable conjecture given in the form of a relationship between the

sum of the lengths of any two sides and the length of the remaining side
of a triangle.

Suggested example of Table 1 created using MS EXCELL:

a

Number of triangles
that can be formed

a+
b

a+c

b+c

Table 1 must show all the 20 combinations of a, b and c with 14

combinations yielding triangles.

*
Make a conclusion about the conjecture made by analyzing the data from
the Table 1.
*

Prove a < b + c, b < a + c and c < a + b by using the fact that cos 1.

WORKSHEET 3
Findings must show that only one distinct triangle can be constructed for Case 2 :
SAS.
WORKSHEET 4
*

Findings must show that the number of triangles possible are 0, 1 or 2.

Suggested conclusion:
Condition
c < b sin C
c = b sin C
b sin C < c < b
c b

(a)
100 57
(b)

P = 24.15 / 24 9 , Q = 54.9 / 54 54, R = 100.95 /

AB = 10.82 cm, A = 46.10 / 46 6 , B = 73.90 / 7354

3.
Using the cosine rule and the formula s = r to arrive at the answer AC =
10.52 cm.
WORKSHEET 6

Students must use only the Sine rule to arrive at the following answers.

3.
rad.

(a)

B = 46.42 / 4625 , A = 58.58 / 58 35 , BC =7.068 cm

(b)

P = 129.53 / 129 32 , R = 10.47 / 1028 , PQ = 1.414 cm

Using the sine rule and the formula s = r to arrive at the answer = 2.50

Impossible
The lengths of the sides of the triangle = 6 cm, 10 cm, 3 cm and 6 + 3 <
Impossible
AC = 7 cm and thus the length of wire must be 20cm. The 19 cm-wire is 1
short.
Impossible
The measurements will result in sin RPQ > 1
Impossible
The shortest distance between L and M = 80 sin 40o = 5.96 km
Impossible
Suggested methods:
1.
Solve simultaneous equations and found that there are no real roots
2.
Show that the maximum area possible is only 6.25 km 2 which is less
than the required 6.5 km2 by using
(a)
the algebraic method,
(b)
differentiation.

WORKSHEET 9
(a)
Solve 3 inequalities formed from a, a + d and a + 2d to arrive at the
condition a < d < a
(b)
Solve 3 inequalities formed from a, ar and ar2 to arrive at the condition
0.618 < r < 1.618
Construct any suitable example for each case.
