Task 1: P4
Solve circular and triangular measurement problems involving the use of radian, sine, cosine and
tangent functions
Juniper Hill causes the track between Capminster and Dunwall to circumnavigate around the base.
The track is split into a curve, centred at the peak of the hill, and a straight section as shown below:
Capminster
Dunwall
3500 m
120 ° 20 °
a) Convert the internal angle of the curved section into radians.

b) Calculate the plan area of the arc sector encapsulated by the curved section.
c) Use the sine function to prove the radius of the curved section is about 1200m.
d) Using the principle of arc lengths and the cosine function, find the total track length
between Capminster and Dunwall.
