QUESTION 1:
The sides of a triangle are a, b and c. Find the length of side c when a = 2 cm, b = 3 cm and the
internal angle between b and c is 25o.
a. 4.27 cm or 3.25 cm.
b. 4.27 cm or 1.17 cm.
c. 1.17 cm or 3.25 cm.
d. The triangle is geometrically not defined.
Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution:
From triangle law, a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc cos α or, c2 – 6 cos 250 c + 5 = 0 => c = 4.2667 cm or
1.1711 cm.

QUESTION 2:
Solve the equation for .
a. 101.10o or -57.50o.
b. -57.50o or 28.39o.
c. 28.39o or 101.10o
d. -18.25o or -57.50o.
Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution:
Replace, sin ϴ = 2 t / (1 + t2) and cos ϴ = (1 – t2) / (1 + t2) where, t = tan (ϴ/2).
2(2t) + 5 (1 – t2) = 1 + t2

QUESTION 4:
, . Calculate and .
a. 34.99 and 12.21o
b. 7.50 and 71.14o
c. 12.21 and 34.99o
d. 71.14 and 7.50o
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:
a + b = 3i + 5j + 7i + 2j = 10i + 7j
|a + b| = √(102+72) = 12.2066

QUESTION 9:
Given a vector a= - i + 2j, determine its angle with the positive x axis.
a. -63.435o
b. 63.435o
c. -116.565o
d. 116.565o
Correct Answer: d
Detailed Solution:
θ = tan -1 (2/-1) = atan2 (-1,2) (i.e., in second quadrant) = 1800 - tan -1 (2/1) = 116.56510
