Example trigonometry GCSE questions

• ABC is a triangle. The point D lies on AC. Angle BDC = 90°. BD = 10cm, AB = 15cm and DC = 12.5cm. Calculate the length of AD. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. Calculate the size of angle BCD. Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.
• Here is a triangle QRS. SQ = 15cm. Angle RSQ = 90°. Area of triangle QRS = 60cm2. Work out the size of angle SQR. Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.
