MATH TRIGONOMETRY PRACTICE QUIZ

1. Question: Calculate the value of sin(30°) + cos(45°).

Answer:

Using the values sin(30°) = 0.5 and cos(45°) = √2 / 2 ≈ 0.707.

Therefore, sin(30°) + cos(45°) = 0.5 + 0.707 ≈ 1.207.

2. Question: Determine the value of tan(60°) × cos(30°).

Answer:

Using the values tan(60°) = √3 and cos(30°) = √3 / 2.

Therefore, tan(60°) × cos(30°) = √3 × √3 / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1.5.

3. Question: If sin(x) = 0.8, then determine the value of x in degrees.

Answer:

We find the value of x using the inverse of sin(y), which is sin^(-1)(0.8).

Therefore, x = sin^(-1)(0.8) ≈ 53.13°.

4. Question: Calculate the value of cos^2(45°) - sin^2(45°).

Answer:

Using the values cos^2(45°) = 1/2 and sin^2(45°) = 1/2.

Therefore, cos^2(45°) - sin^2(45°) = 1/2 - 1/2 = 0.

5. Question: Determine the value of sin(90°) × tan(45°).

Answer:

Using the values sin(90°) = 1 and tan(45°) = 1.

Therefore, sin(90°) × tan(45°) = 1 × 1 = 1.

6. Question: If cos(x) = 0.6, then what is the value of x in radians?

Answer:

We find the value of x using the inverse of cos(y), which is cos^(-1)(0.6).

Therefore, x = cos^(-1)(0.6) ≈ 0.9273 radians.

7. Question: Calculate the value of tan(30°) + cot(60°).

Answer:

Using the values tan(30°) = 1/√3 and cot(60°) = 1/√3.

Therefore, tan(30°) + cot(60°) = 1/√3 + 1/√3 = 2/√3.

8. Question: Determine the value of sin(60°) / cos(30°).

Answer:

Using the values sin(60°) = √3 / 2 and cos(30°) = √3 / 2.

Therefore, sin(60°) / cos(30°) = (√3 / 2) / (√3 / 2) = 1.

9. Question: If tan(x) = 2, then what is the value of sin(x)?

Answer:

We can find the value of sin(x) from the definition tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x).

Therefore, sin(x) = 1 / cos(x) = 1 / √(1 + tan^2(x)) = 1 / √(1 + 2^2) = 1 / √5.

10. Question: Determine the value of sin^2(60°) + cos^2(60°).

Answer:

Using the values sin^2(60°) = 3/4 and cos^2(60°) = 1/4.

Therefore, sin^2(60°) + cos^2(60°) = 3/4 + 1/4 = 1.
