7.2 [6]

3sinx+2=1−2sin2x

[1]

2sin2x+3sinx+1=0

[1]

(2sinx+1)(sinx+1)=0

[1]

sinx=−21​: x=210°

Question 8

8.1 [3]

QR2=852+1202−2(85)(120)cos48°

[2]

QR≈89,30 m

[1]

Answer:

About 89,30 m

8.2 [3]

sinR^=89,3085sin48°​, so R^≈45,02°

[1]

PQR^​=180°−48°−45,02°≈86,98°

[1]

R^ is opposite a shorter side, so it must be acute; using the sine rule for Q^​ would be ambiguous

[1]

Answer:

PRQ^​≈45,02°, PQR^​≈86,98°

8.3 [3]

Area =21​(85)(120)sin48°

[2]

≈3790,04 m²

[1]

Answer:

About 3 790,04 m²

8.4 [3]

Area =21​×QR×h

≈84,88 m

[1]

Answer:

About 84,88 m

8.5 [6]

(a) sinC=710sin35°​

[1]

≈0,819

[1]

C^≈55,02°

[1]

or C^≈124,98°

[1]

(b) 35°+124,98°<180°

[1]

so the obtuse angle also leaves a positive third angle

[1]

Answer:

C^≈55,02° or 124,98°

[1]

(b) PQ∥BC (midpt theorem), so in △ABR, PS∥BR through the midpoint P

[1]

S is the midpoint of AR and PS=21​BR

[1]

BR=6, so PS=3 cm

[1]

SQ=9−3=6 cm
