ECZ 2019 · GCE Paper 1 — Trigonometry
The diagram shows triangle KLM in which KL = 16 cm, angle KLM = 150° and its area is 32 cm². Calculate the length of LM.
- A. 4 cm
- B. 8 cm
- C. 16 cm
- D. 2 cm
Verified working — step 1
Area = ½ × KL × LM × sin L. So 32 = ½ × 16 × LM × sin 150°, and sin 150° = ½, giving 32 = 4 × LM. Hence LM = …The full step-by-step working and final answer are included with Premium — checked against ECZ marking standards.
