Maths Exercise

1. The document contains 24 math problems involving trigonometric functions, geometry, and bearings. The problems calculate unknown angles and lengths, express values in terms of other variables, prove triangles are similar, and find areas. 2. Many problems involve right triangles and require using trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent to calculate unknown angle measures or side lengths. 3. Other problems deal with bearings between positions, regular polygons, isosceles triangles, and proving triangles are similar through angle or side bisectors.
