MHB Trigonometry and Triangle Questions

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around solving various trigonometry and triangle-related questions. Key points include using the sine definition for solving problems, recognizing properties of right-angled and isosceles triangles to find unknown angles, and applying trigonometric ratios for calculations. Additionally, the sine law is suggested for one of the problems, and there's a query about finding the area of a triangle using trigonometric methods. A formula for decay is mentioned, though it is noted as unrelated to trigonometry.

Gents, Thanks for all the guidance in the past with my work and brothers too.

Can anyone help with these , see file attached

Edit: I have attached the PDF pages as images for those who don't wish to download a PDF attachment :)What do you know about trigonometry?

Q1) You can solve this one by using the definition of sine: $$\sin \theta = \frac{opp}{hyp}$$ (the SOH of SOHCAHTOA if you were taught this mnenomic)

Q2) This is both a right angled and isoceles triangle. Since the sum of angles is 180 degrees and one is 90 you can find the other two (they're the same remember)

Q3) This can be solved using one of the trig ratio

Q4) Use the sine law:
$$\dfrac{\sin A}{A} = \dfrac{\sin B}{B} = \dfrac{\sin C}{C}$$

Q5) Do you know how to find the area of a triangle from trig?
$$A = \frac{1}{2}ab\sin(C)$$

Q6) The usual formula for decay is [math]A = A_0(1-r)^t[/math]. Not sure why it's here as not trig related

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
