Section C Short Answer Section

  • Working out must be shown to gain full marks.

CAS may be used to check answers and must be used when asked in the question.

  1. A plane flies for 419 km on a bearing of 14853ʹT.

a)Draw a labelled diagram showing the plane’s journey.

b)How far south is the plane from its starting point? Give your answer to the nearest kilometre.

2+ 2 = 4 marks

  1. From the top of a building 202 m high, the angle of depression to the top of another building is 25. The buildings are separated by a horizontal distance of 120 m.
  1. Draw a diagram to illustrate this situation.
  1. Calculate the height of the second building. Give your answer to the nearest metre.

2 + 2 = 4 marks

c)State the area of the rug, in square metres, correct to one decimal place.

2+ 3+ 1 = 6 marks

Section D:ANALYSIS (10 marks)

  • Working out must be shown to gain full marks
  • CAS calculator may be used to check your answer.

From a point A on level ground, the angle of elevation to the top of a pine tree is 60°. From a point B, also on the ground, 20 m away from point A and in line with A and the foot of the pine tree, the angle of elevation to the top of the pine tree is 30°.

Let h be the height of the pine tree and let d be the distance between A and the foot of the pine tree.

(a)Draw a labelled diagram and mark the size of all the angles.

(b)Write an equation using point A to express the height of the pine tree h in terms of the distanced

(c)Write another equation using point B this time to express the height of the pine tree in terms of d.

(d)Use your two equations from parts (b) and (c) to find the distance from B to the pine tree. You may use technology to achieve your solution.
