    1. Consider the equilateral triangle below:

    Figure 1: An equilateral triangle of side length 2.

    (a) We simply split the triangle into two equal pieces as suggested and after a bit of pythagoras obtain:

    30◦
    2 √
    3

    60◦
    1
    √
    From here, simple trigonometry yields sin 30◦ = 1
    2 and cos 30◦ = 2
    3
    as required. [3]

    (b) For example, we construct the triangle:

    √ 45◦
    2
    1

    45◦

    From here, simple trigonometry yields cos 45◦ = sin 45◦ = √1


    2
    as required.
    [3]
    ◦ √1 ◦
    (c) cos(−45 ) = 2
    and sin(−45) = − √12 . [3]

    π
    (d) 4. [2]

    (e) sin 3π
    4 =
    √1
    2
    and cos 3π √1
    4 = − 2. [2]

    2. Simplify the following expresions:

    (a) 1. [1]

    (b) 2 + sin2 (2θ). [2]

    (c) sin θ. [2]

    (d) 1. [2]

    (e) tan θ. [3]


    1
    (f) cos2 θ (or sec2 θ). [3]

    3. x = 45◦ , 225◦ . [3]

    4. x = 45◦ , 135◦ , 225◦ , 315◦ . [3]

    π 11π 13π 23π 25π 35π


    5. x = 18 , 18 , 18 , 18 , 18 , 18 . [4]

    π 5π
    6. x = 4, 4 . [4]

    π π 5π
    7. x = 2, 6, 6 . [4]

    8. Consider the triangle below:

    A
    b
    C
    c
    a
    B
    Figure 2: A triangle with side lengths A, B, C and angles a, b, c.

    (a) area= 21 AB sin c. [1]

    sin a sin b sin c


    (b) A = B = C . [2]

    (c) A2 = B 2 + C 2 − 2BC cos a. [2]


    √
    15 3
    (d) Area= 2 . [2]
    √
    (e) C = 31. [3]

    9. Consider the sector of a circle below:

    θ
    r

    O
    Figure 3: A circle sector of radius r and angle θ.

    (a) S = rθ. [1]

    (b) A = 21 r2 θ. [2]

    25π
    (c) A = 6 . [2]

    (d) Be Careful! We are given an angle in degrees. We must convert this to radians first. The answer is
    8π
    S= .
    9
    [2]

    10. Consider the sector of a circle below. The shaded segment R is bounded by a chord on the circle.

    R
    2π
    5

    O 4
    2π
    Figure 4: A circle sector of radius 4 and angle 5 .

    16π
    (a) A = 5 . [2]

    (b) We first calculate the area of the triangle to be 21 × 4 × 4 × sin 2π 5 = 7.60845 · · · . Thus, the area of
    R is 16π
    5 − 7.60845 · · · = 2.4446 · · · . Hence the area of the shaded region R is 2.44 (to two decimal
    places). [5]
