QUIZ – Solving Right Triangles

1.) Label the sides (opp/adj/hyp) of the triangle below based on < B as the reference angle.

2.) Find the remaining trig ratios for the given triangle using the 60o angle as the reference
angle. The first one is done for you. (Do not leave a radical in the denominator of your
fraction.)

x √ 3 √3
sin 60o = =
2x 2

3.) Find RT. Round to the nearest tenth.


4.) Find m < A. Round to the nearest degree.

5.) Solve the right triangle below. Round angles to the nearest degree and sides to the
nearest tenth.

6.) From a point on the ground 12 ft from the base of a flagpole, the angle of elevation of
the top of the pole measures 53°. How tall is the flagpole? Draw a figure to represent
the scenario (not just a triangle). Show all work.

7.) From the top of a vertical cliff 40 m high, the angle of depression of an object that is
level with the base of the cliff is 34o. How far is the object from the base of the cliff?
Draw a figure to represent the scenario (not just a triangle). Show all work.

8.) A 14-foot ladder is used to scale a 13-foot wall. At what angle of elevation must the
ladder be situated in order to reach the top of the wall? Draw a figure to represent the
scenario (not just a triangle). Show all work.
9.) A ramp is needed to allow vehicles to climb a 2-foot wall. The angle of elevation in
order for the vehicles to safely go up must be 30o or less, and the longest ramp available
is 5 feet long. Can this ramp be used safely?

BONUS (10pts)
Brian’s kite is flying above a field at the end of 65 m of string. If the angle of elevation to the
kite measures 70°, and Brian is holding the kite 1.2 m off the ground. How high above the
ground is the kite flying? Draw a figure to represent the scenario (not just a triangle). Show all
work.
