APPLICATIONS OF PLANE TRIGONOMETRY MISCELLANEOUS PROBLEMS


RIGHT TRIANGLE SITUATION
(PYTHAGOREAN TRIANGLE) Given triangle ABC, how many possible triangles can be formed for the
r2 = x2 + y2 following conditions:
8. BC = 15cm, AC = 7cm, AB = 8cm.
x = r cos θ
9. BC = 17cm, AC = 12cm, AB = 7cm.
y = r sin θ 10. BC = 16cm, AC = 26cm, angle A = 42.3°.
11. AB = 37cm, AC = 26cm, angle B = 32.5°.

sin A sin B sin C
COSINE LAW
a2 = b2 + c 2 − 2bc cos A
b2 = a2 + c 2 − 2ac cos B
c 2 = a2 + b2 − 2ab cos C

1. Two poles, 10m and 15m high, are 25m apart on a level ground.
A guy wire runs from the top of each pole to the foot of the other
pole. Find the height above the ground where the guy wires cross.

2. From the top of the building A the angle of elevation of the top of
the building B is 46°. From the foot of the building B the angle of
elevation of the top of building A is 28°. Both buildings are on level
ground. If the height of the building B is 150 m, how far apart are
the buildings in m?

3. A tower of height ‘h’ meters is located due west from point A. The
angle of elevation of the top of the tower from A is 48 degrees.
Another point B, 30° South of West from the tower, on the same
level plane as the base of the tower and A, the angle of elevation
of the top of the tower is 54 degrees. If A and B are 280m apart,
determine the height of the tower.

4. Points D and E are the midpoints of the sides BC and CA,


respectively, in triangle ABC. If AD=5 and BC=BE=4, find the
length of CA.

5. A wooden flagpole is embedded 3m deep at corner A of a concrete


horizontal slab ABCD, square in form and measuring 20 ft on a
side. A storm broke the flagpole at a point one meter above the
slab and inclined toward corner C in the direction of the diagonal
AC. The vertical angles observed at the center of the slab and at
corner C to the tip of the flagpole were 65° and 35°, respectively,
what is the total length of the flagpole above the slab in meters?

6. From a point outside an equilateral triangle, the distance to the


vertices is 10m, 10m, and 18m. Find the dimension of the triangle.

7. An engineer desires to measure the height of the tower by


observing a vertical angle at A. He then moves 54 m further
towards the tower at B and observes the vertical angle to be twice
that of A. He again proceeds to move further towards the tower at
C still on the same line at a distance of 21m. The observed vertical
angle of the tower at this point is three times that at A. Determine
the angle of elevation of the tower at B.
