EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY
Term 1 Duration 3 Days
Sub-topics Grade 11 Geometry
ATP Accept results established in earlier grades as axioms and also that a tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the
radius, drawn to the point of contact.
REFERENCE Investigate and prove the following theorems of the geometry of circles, assuming results from earlier
grades:
The line drawn from the centre of a circle perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord.
The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the centre of the circle.
The angle at the centre of a circle is double the size of the angle at the circle.
Angles subtended by a chord of the circle, on the same side of the chord, are equal.
Accept results established in earlier grades as axioms and that a tangent to a circle is
perpendicular to the radius, drawn to the point of contact. Then investigate and prove the
following theorems of the geometry of circles:
The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
Two tangents drawn to a circle from the same point outside the circle are equal in length.
The angle between the tangent to a circle and the chord drawn from the point of contact is
equal to the angle in the alternate segment
Solve circle geometry problems, providing reasons for statements.
The proofs of the FIVE theorems printed in bold above can be asked in examinations.
(See Gr. 11 Examination Guidelines.

A] TRIG EQUATIONS
Some notes to help you:
1) GENERAL SOLUTION
Period for trig graphs (period for sine & cosine is 360°,period for tan is 180°)
In General solution it is where there is a point of intersection of graphs or with axes or with
certain value. It has its own way of solving.
Try to simplify trig ratios (have 1 or same trig ratios), try co-functions if not, try method of
factorization, quadratic formula can be used (Trig Equation).
Divide with variable only if the answer will be tan of an angle. Once you divide with variable
and get answer that is not tan, then one solution will be lost.
Specific solution (It is when domain is given)
2) FOR SPECIFIC SOLUTION: Where by the is a given interval e.g [𝟎°; 𝟑𝟔𝟎°]
Now substitute integers to general solution to get specific values.
Integers usually 𝑘 = −1 𝑘=0 𝑘=1

Question 4
E is the top of a mountain EF. A and B are
two points 800m from each other and in the
same horizontal plane as the foot of the
mountain. EA = 4273m, E A B 59,4 and
the angle of elevation of E from B is 15,6°.
Calculate the height of the mountain.
Question 5
A mountain climber wants to determine
the height, MN, of a mountain. He
uses a theodolite (instrument used to
measure angles). The mountain
climber is standing on flat ground. P is
in the same horizontal plane as the foot
of the mountain N.
He measures the following angles from
P:
The angle of elevation of the top
of the mountain M, is x
MP̂Q is y
He then walks d metres to point Q ,
which is also in the same horizontal
plane as P and N, and measures PQ̂M
which is z .
d sin x sin z
