1In a right triangle, which trigonometric ratio is defined as the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse?
A.Sine
B.Cosine
C.Tangent
D.Cotangent
Explanation: Sine is defined as opposite/hypotenuse in a right triangle — the standard SOH from the mnemonic SOH-CAH-TOA.
2In a right triangle, which trigonometric ratio is defined as the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse?
A.Cosine
B.Sine
C.Tangent
D.Secant
Explanation: Cosine is defined as adjacent/hypotenuse in a right triangle — the CAH from SOH-CAH-TOA.
3A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 10 cm and one angle of 30°. What is the length of the side opposite the 30° angle?
A.5 cm
B.8.66 cm
C.10 cm
D.3 cm
Explanation: Opposite = hypotenuse × sin(30°) = 10 × 0.5 = 5 cm.
4A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 10 cm and one angle of 30°. What is the length of the side adjacent to the 30° angle (to the nearest 0.1 cm)?
A.8.7 cm
B.5.0 cm
C.10.0 cm
D.6.0 cm
Explanation: Adjacent = hypotenuse × cos(30°) = 10 × 0.866 ≈ 8.7 cm.
5A ladder leans against a wall, making a 60° angle with the ground. If the base of the ladder is 2 m from the wall, how long is the ladder (to the nearest 0.1 m)?
A.4.0 m
B.2.0 m
C.3.5 m
D.1.7 m
Explanation: cos(60°) = adjacent/hypotenuse = 2/hypotenuse. Since cos(60°) = 0.5, hypotenuse = 2/0.5 = 4.0 m.
6A technical drawing shows a right triangle with legs of 3 cm and 4 cm. Using the Pythagorean theorem, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
A.5 cm
B.7 cm
C.12 cm
D.25 cm
Explanation: c = √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 cm — the classic 3-4-5 right triangle.
7The Pythagorean theorem states that for a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c:
A.a² + b² = c²
B.a + b = c
C.a × b = c²
D.a² - b² = c²
Explanation: The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two legs equals the square of the hypotenuse: a² + b² = c².
8An engineer needs to find the height of a tower. Standing 50 m from the base, the angle of elevation to the top is measured as 40°. Using tan(40°) ≈ 0.839, the height of the tower (to the nearest meter) is approximately:
A.42 m
B.50 m
C.32 m
D.65 m
Explanation: tan(40°) = height/distance, so height = 50 × 0.839 ≈ 41.96 m, which rounds to 42 m.
9The sum of the interior angles of any triangle always equals:
A.180°
B.360°
C.90°
D.270°
Explanation: The interior angles of any triangle, regardless of shape, always sum to exactly 180°.
10A regular hexagon (6 equal sides) has interior angles that each measure:
A.120°
B.90°
C.60°
D.180°
Explanation: Sum of interior angles = (n−2) × 180° = (6−2) × 180° = 720°. Divided equally among 6 angles: 720°/6 = 120°.

About the Saarland Abitur Technik-Mathematik Exam

Saarland Abitur TE-M is the written Profilfach for the Fachrichtung Technik in the berufliches Gymnasium examination in Technik-Mathematik, administered under the GOS-VO. It assesses Trigonometry & Technical Geometry, Vectors & Analytic Geometry, Functions & Technical Modeling, Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, and Statics & Technical Mechanics. This free MCQ bank trains the underlying content before students practise the official applied case-study and structured-problem examination with genuine calculation problems.

Exam sponsor: Ministerium für Bildung und Kultur Saarland (MBK). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official written Saarland Abitur Profilfach for the Fachrichtung Technik in the berufliches Gymnasium TE-M, written as Leistungsfach (E-Kurs). Candidates work with case material, data, or source content across Trigonometry & Technical Geometry, Vectors & Analytic Geometry, Functions & Technical Modeling, Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Statics & Technical Mechanics, producing structured or extended responses. This 100-question bank is an MCQ study adaptation only — it does not simulate the real applied case-study and structured-problem examination with genuine calculation problems.

Time Limit

270-300 minutes (Leistungsfach/eN level)

Passing Score
