In the diagram below, triangle ABC is congruent to triangle PNA. Given that BC = 22 cm, AP = 32 cm and angle ACB = 91°, calculate

- (a)
the length of BN,
Answer ... cm
- (b)
angle APN.
Answer Angle APN = ...
It won't just hand you the answer — it asks where you're stuck.How the checker works
Worked solution
19(a)
1. Identify the corresponding sides and included angle in triangle $PNA$.
Since , the order gives
, , .
Hence
, , and
.
2. Find $PN$ using the cosine rule in $\triangle APN$.
In ,
Since corresponds to ,
3. Find $BP$ and subtract $PN$ to get $BN$.
Since are collinear, .
First find from :
In , , so
Solving gives
Therefore
19(b)
1. Identify the needed sides and angle in $\triangle APN$.
Since , the corresponding vertices are
Hence
and
Also, .
2. Calculate $\angle APN$ using the cosine rule.
First find :
Now use the cosine rule for :
