The first question I used BA cos(delta)
My answer was 0.512 Weber
The second question I used NBA
My answer was 9 Weber
I would like to know whether my answers are right thank you

Second answer looks good.
Question about the first - was cos the correct function or should you use sin??
To test, you could consider if the question had used 90 degrees as the angle.
Would there be any flux through the area.
cos 90 = 0 ; sin 90 =1. would you want a zero answer [use cos] or a numerical answer [use sin] That's how I decide. Since the angle can be defined different ways [like those problems inclined to the vertical or inclined to the horizontal] it is not a good idea to decide on a function and try to use it in every problem.
Magnetic flux is a measure of the strength of a magnetic field passing through a given area.
Magnetic flux is calculated by taking the dot product of the magnetic field and the area vector.
The unit of measurement for magnetic flux is weber (Wb) in the SI system.
Yes, magnetic flux can be changed by changing the strength or direction of the magnetic field or by changing the area through which the field passes.
Magnetic flux density is a measure of the strength of the magnetic field at a specific point, while magnetic flux is a measure of the overall strength of the magnetic field passing through a given area.
