(a) The angle of depression of a boat from the mid-point of a vertical cliff is 35°. If the boat is 120m from the foot of the cliff, calculate the height of the cliff.
(b) Towns P and Q are x km apart. Two motorists set out at the same time from P to Q at steady speeds of 60 km/h and 80 km/h. The faster motorist got to Q 30 minutes earlier than the other. Find the value of x.
Y is 60 km away from X on a bearing of 135°. Z is 80 km away from X on a bearing of 225°. Find the :
(a) distance of Z from Y ;
(b) bearing of Z from Y.
X is due east point of y on a coast. Z is another point on the coast but 6.0km due south of Y. If the distance ZX is 12km, calculate the bearing of Z from X
The circumference of a circular track is 9km. A cyclist rides round it a number of times and stops after covering a distance of 302km. How far is the cyclist from the starting point?
From a point T, a man moves 12km due west and then moves 12km due south to another point Q. Calculate the bearing of T from Q.
