an angle of 25.2 degrees. The height of the prism is 32 cm. Calculate the volume of
the prism.

2. Triangle ABC has side AB = 1,8 m and the height of the triangle, measured
perpendicularly to side AB, is 2,7 m. The triangle is divided to two parts, a
quadrilateral ABDE and a smaller triangle DEC, separated by a line segment DE
parallel to side AB, and having distance of 1,2 m to side AB.
a) Draw a figure to illustrate the situation.
b) Calculate the area of triangle ABC.
c) Calculate the area of triangle DEC.

length of sides AB and CB is 6. Determine the sides and the angles of the triangle.

5. Determine the maximum area of a circle drawn inside an equilateral triangle with
side length of 2. Solve the problem using only basic trigonometry and the formula
for the area of the circle.

6. Using fundamental trigonometrical identity, find all possible values of cos if its
known that sin = 0.65. (Try to do this without determining the value or possible
value of .)
