Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Using exact trigonometric ratios - Variation Theory
To solve the problem, we need to determine the missing values (lengths or angles) in each of the right triangles provided. We will use trigonometric relationships such as sine, cosine, and tangent, as well as the Pythagorean theorem where necessary.

1. First Triangle:


- Given: Hypotenuse = 12 m, Angle = 30°
- Find: Side \( q \)

Using the sine function:
\[
\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{q}{12}
\]
\[
\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
\frac{1}{2} = \frac{q}{12}
\]
\[
q = 12 \times \frac{1}{2} = 6 \text{ m}
\]

2. Second Triangle:


- Given: Hypotenuse = 6 m, Angle = 30°
- Find: Side \( r \)

Using the sine function:
\[
\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{r}{6}
\]
\[
\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
\frac{1}{2} = \frac{r}{6}
\]
\[
r = 6 \times \frac{1}{2} = 3 \text{ m}
\]

3. Third Triangle:


- Given: One leg = 4 m, Hypotenuse = 8 m
- Find: Angle \( s \)

Using the cosine function:
\[
\cos(s) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
\cos(s) = \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
s = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 60^\circ
\]

4. Fourth Triangle:


- Given: One leg = 4 m, Hypotenuse = 8 m
- Find: Angle \( t \)

Using the sine function:
\[
\sin(t) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
\sin(t) = \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
t = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 30^\circ
\]

5. Fifth Triangle:


- Given: One leg = \( 4\sqrt{3} \) m, Hypotenuse = 8 m
- Find: Angle \( u \)

Using the cosine function:
\[
\cos(u) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{8} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
\]
\[
\cos(u) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
\]
\[
u = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = 30^\circ
\]

6. Sixth Triangle:


- Given: One leg = \( 8\sqrt{3} \) m, Hypotenuse = 16 m
- Find: Angle \( v \)

Using the cosine function:
\[
\cos(v) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{16} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
\]
\[
\cos(v) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
\]
\[
v = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = 30^\circ
\]

Final Answers:


\[
\boxed{6, 3, 60, 30, 30, 30}
\]
