Starter Can you find the value of x in this diagram to 2dp? Be careful with rounding answers! 1) Start by finding the opposite side in the left triangle 3) Then you can find the angle x by using the opposite and hypotenuse in the upper triangle NOT TO SCALE Hyp πππ=ππππΓπ΄ππ 13cm ππππ= πππ π΄ππ πππ=πππ42Γ8 x 49.82Β° πππ=7.20 (2ππ) ππππ= Opp 5.93 2) Then subtract this from the hypotenuse of the lower triangle 4cm ππππ=0.764β¦ 42Β° 5.93 π»π¦π= π΄ππ πΆππ π π=49.82Β° 8cm 7.20 Hyp π»π¦π= 12 πΆππ 24 Adj Opp 24Β° π»π¦π=13.14 (2ππ) 12cm Adj πππ’πππ π πππ=13.14β7.20=5.93

3D Trigonometry We have looked at using trigonometry in lots of situations Today we will be focusing on using it in 3D problems The key to answering questions in 3D is thinking about separate parts of them in 2D You will find that making quick sketches as you work will help you visualise what to do!

3D Trigonometry ABCDEFGH is a cuboid, as shown.
Calculate the length of BD Calculate the angle between BH and the base of the cuboid 8.06cm (β65) ο You can find the length of BD by just using the base H G 4cm E F 7cm D C π 2 + π 2 = π 2 6cm Sub in values 4cm = π 2 Add up A B 7cm 65= π 2 Square root 8.06=π (Remember that as an exact value, c = β65!)

3D Trigonometry ABCDEFGH is a cuboid, as shown.
Calculate the length of BD Calculate the angle between BH and the base of the cuboid 8.06cm (β65) ο To find the angle between BH and the base, draw on BH, and look to make a right angled triangle (inside the shape) H G Opp 6 E F ΞΈ D C β65 6cm Adj β65 ΞΈ 4cm ππππ= πππ π΄ππ Sub in values A B ππππ= 7cm Calculate ππππ=0.744β¦ Use inverse Tan π=36.7Β°

Plenary The great pyramid of Giza is a square based pyramid of side length 230m, and is 139m high. If you were to stand in one corner and walk up the pyramid to the top, what angle would you be walking up at and how far would you have to walk? ο We need the length of the diagonal first π 2 + π 2 = π 2 Sub in values = π 2 230m Add up 105800= π 2 Square root 230m 325.27=π 230m 325.27m 230m

So you would be walking up at an angle of 40.5Β°

If you were to stand in one corner and walk up the pyramid to the top, what angle would you be walking up at and how far would you have to walk? ο Now we can draw the height on, and halve the length we just foundβ¦ 139m ππππ= πππ π΄ππ Opp Sub in values ππππ= 139m Calculate ππππ=0.854β¦ 40.5Β° ΞΈ Use inverse Tan 230m π=40.5Β° 325.27m 162.63m 162.63m Adj 230m So you would be walking up at an angle of 40.5Β°

Summary We have looked at using Trigonometry in 3D shapes
We have seen how to model this using 2D diagrams We have seen that diagrams help a lot!!
