COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING:
In a right-angled triangle, we can name the sides of the triangle according to the position of
the angle and the right angle:
Adjacent side"
Or
Opposite side
Adjacent side
Investigate the different RATIOS of all the sides in similar triangles. The four triangles below
are given from smallest to biggest. The corresponding sides opposite the common angle, @, is
shown on the sketch as parallel lines. The angles which are equal is shown as *.
USE THE FOLLOWING SKETCH TO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS IN THIS
INVESTIGATION. J

Question 1 [6]
Given: _ the lengths of the lines:
AB= 49cm, AD= 85cm, AF= 11,8cm and AH=13,9 cm
AC= 54cm, AE=9,4cm, AG= 13cm and AJ= 15,3 cm
CB= 23cm, ED= 4cm, GF=5,5cm and JH=6,4 cm
1.1. Complete the similar triangles by writing the letters of the triangles in the correct order.
AABC ||| A Il A I| 4 [3]
1.2. Whyare the four triangles similar to each other?

uestion 3 [10
3.1. Ifthe size of angle @ in the sketch on page 3, is: @ = 25°
3.2 Use your calculator to determine the value of the following to ONE decimal place:
sin25°= cos25° = tan25° =
[3]
3.3. Compare your answers in table 3.2 and table 2.3:
( choose only one option by marking the corrrect column on the righthand side by X )
e sin25° had the same answer in 2.3 and 3.2 as: (choose only one option by marking
the corrrect column on the righthand side by an X ) [3]
opposite side adjacent side opposite side
hypotenuse hypotenuse adjacent side
¢ cos25° had the same answer in 2.3 and 3.2 as: (choose only one option)
opposite side adjacent side opposite side
hypotenuse hypotenuse adjacent side
e tan25° had the same answer in 2.3 and 3.2 as: (choose only one option)
opposite side adjacent side opposite side
hypotenuse hypotenuse adjacent side
CONCLUSION:
3.4 Do you think that the previous RATIOS wil always be the same for THE SAME
ANGLE SIZES although the triangles may differ in size? Explain your answer. [3]

4.2 If YZ is the WANTED SIDE and XZ is the GIVEN SIDE, which ratio of
2 = sin35,3° or < = cos 35,3° or 2 = tan 35,3° will you use to determine YZ? [3]
