SOLUTION OF TRIANGLES PAST YEAR QUESTIONS PROGRAM BIJAK BELAJAR MGC KULAIJAYA (9 APRIL 2011) PAPER 2 1 Diagram shows

s a tent VABC in the shape of a pyramid with triangle ABC as the 2003 horizontal base. V is the vertex of the tent and the angle between the inclined plane [10marks] VBC and the base is 50. V

B Given that VB = VC = 2.2 m and AB = AC = 2.6 m, calculate (a) the length of BC if the area of the base is 3 m2, (b) the length of AV if the angle between AV and the base is 25, (c) the area of triangle VAB.
