Question:

Solution:
A ladder is 4 metres long. It leans against a vertical wall, and reaches 3.5 metres
up the wall. Find the angle that the ladder makes with the horizontal ground.
Question:
In triangle LMN, angle LMN 90°, MN 17cm, LN 25cm. Calculate angle LNM.
Solution:
Some questions will ask you to find a missing quantity, and then go on to use this
to find another, possibly using Pythagoras’ theorem as well as trigonometry. Do
not round off too early – whenever you carry out a new calculation you should
use the full calculator value of any previous calculations; otherwise inaccuracies
can creep into your work.
