Year 11

Here’s the problem

An anchor cable shelves at 50º. You are aware that 24m of cable has been let out. What is the depth of water?

If given the opposite and the hypotenuse, use: sin = opposite

cos = adjacenthypotenuse

If given the opposite and the adjacent, use:tan = opposite

We need to get x = ……

B = AC

If B = 2 and C = 5, find O

2 = A5

X 5 X 5

10 = A

Multiply both sides by 5

Therefore…

The depth of water is 18.39m

The six steps are:-

1. Draw diagram

2. Label inside

3. Select ratio

4. Substitute values

5. Rearrange

6. Use Calculator

An example

Ex 7B 1e

A real problem

UHF Communication is a radio system that works on line of sight. Why did the ships helicopter lose communication when only at an altitude of XXm and range of XXm

Colombus could work it out!!

Solution

problems are tricky

Algebra Revision

B = AC

If B = 3 and A = 12, find C

3 = 12C

X C

3C = 12

Multiply both sides by C

Divide both sides by 3

3 3

C = 4Note how the C and 3 have swapped places
