1. **Problem Statement:**
We have a triangle with vertices T, B, and F. Given:
- Distance TB = 130 m
- Distance TF = 185 m
- Angle \(\angle BTF = 38^\circ\)
- Angle \(\angle TFB = 12^\circ\)
We need to find:
(i) Distance BF using the Cosine Rule.
(ii) Angle \(\angle TFB\) using the Sine Rule.
(iii) Area of sector GFE of a circle with diameter 28 m and central angle \(\angle TFB\).
2. **(i) Find |BF| using the Cosine Rule:**
The Cosine Rule states:
$$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos(C)$$
where \(c\) is the side opposite angle \(C\).
Here, \(a = TB = 130\), \(b = TF = 185\), and \(C = \angle BTF = 38^\circ\).
Calculate:
$$BF^2 = 130^2 + 185^2 - 2 \times 130 \times 185 \times \cos(38^\circ)$$
$$= 16900 + 34225 - 48100 \times \cos(38^\circ)$$
Calculate \(\cos(38^\circ) \approx 0.7880\):
$$BF^2 = 16900 + 34225 - 48100 \times 0.7880 = 51125 - 37902.8 = 13222.2$$
So,
$$BF = \sqrt{13222.2} \approx 115\text{ m (nearest metre)}$$
3. **(ii) Find \(|\angle TFB|\) using the Sine Rule:**
The Sine Rule states:
$$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}$$
We know:
- Side BF \(= 115\) m (from part i)
- Side TB \(= 130\) m
- Angle \(\angle BTF = 38^\circ\)
- Angle \(\angle TFB = 12^\circ\) (given)
We want to find \(\angle TFB\) which is already given as 12°, so we find \(\angle TFB\) using the Sine Rule to confirm or find \(\angle TFB\) if needed.
Using Sine Rule between sides TB and BF:
$$\frac{BF}{\sin(\angle BTF)} = \frac{TB}{\sin(\angle TFB)}$$
Rearranged:
$$\sin(\angle TFB) = \frac{TB \times \sin(\angle BTF)}{BF} = \frac{130 \times \sin(38^\circ)}{115}$$
Calculate \(\sin(38^\circ) \approx 0.6157\):
$$\sin(\angle TFB) = \frac{130 \times 0.6157}{115} = \frac{80.04}{115} \approx 0.696$$
So,
$$\angle TFB = \arcsin(0.696) \approx 44^\circ$$
4. **(iii) Find the area of sector GFE:**
The flag F is the center of a circle with diameter 28 m, so radius \(r = \frac{28}{2} = 14\) m.
The sector angle is \(\angle TFB = 44^\circ\) (from part ii).
Area of sector formula:
$$\text{Area} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2$$
Calculate:
$$= \frac{44}{360} \times \pi \times 14^2 = \frac{44}{360} \times \pi \times 196$$
$$= 0.1222 \times 3.1416 \times 196 = 75.3\text{ m}^2$$
5. **(b)(i) Maximum and minimum lengths of Rory's shot:**
Rory's ball lands 10 m from F, so the shot length is the distance from T to P where P lies on a circle of radius 10 m centered at F.
Minimum length = \(TF - FP = 185 - 10 = 175\) m
Maximum length = \(TF + FP = 185 + 10 = 195\) m
6. **(b)(ii) Find \(|\angle FTP|\) when Rory's shot length is 187 m:**
Triangle TFP with sides:
- TF = 185 m
- FP = 10 m
- TP = 187 m
Use Cosine Rule to find \(\angle FTP\):
$$TP^2 = TF^2 + FP^2 - 2 \times TF \times FP \times \cos(\angle FTP)$$
Rearranged:
$$\cos(\angle FTP) = \frac{TF^2 + FP^2 - TP^2}{2 \times TF \times FP} = \frac{185^2 + 10^2 - 187^2}{2 \times 185 \times 10}$$
Calculate:
$$= \frac{34225 + 100 - 34969}{3700} = \frac{34225 + 100 - 34969}{3700} = \frac{-644}{3700} \approx -0.1741$$
So,
$$\angle FTP = \arccos(-0.1741) \approx 100^\circ$$
**Final answers:**
(i) \(|BF| = 115\) m
(ii) \(|\angle TFB| = 44^\circ\)
(iii) Area of sector GFE = 75.3 m²
(b)(i) Minimum length = 175 m, Maximum length = 195 m
(b)(ii) \(|\angle FTP| = 100^\circ\)
