What this AA HL trigonometry worksheet covers

Right-angled and non-right-angled trigonometry: sine and cosine rules, area of a triangle, bearings and 3D problems. The questions follow the order of the AA HL syllabus for Topic 3 (Geometry & Trigonometry) and are graded in three bands — routine practice, exam-standard, and the harder multi-step questions that separate a 6 from a 7.

SOH CAH TOA in context
Sine rule including the ambiguous case
Cosine rule and the area formula ½ab sin C
Bearings and angles of elevation
Exam tip for this topic. For the sine rule, check whether the obtuse angle also fits the triangle — the ambiguous case is a favourite examiner trap.

How to use it

  1. Do the first band without the AA HL formula booklet, then check which formulas you had to look up — those are the ones to memorise.
  2. Time the second band at roughly 1.2 minutes per mark, the pace of Paper 1 and Paper 2.
  3. Mark the third band against the solutions and rewrite every question you lost marks on from a blank page.
