Consider an acute angle \(\theta\) such that \(\cos{\theta} = \frac{2}{3}\).
Find the value of
\(\sin{\theta}\);
\(\sin{2\theta}\).
[4]The following diagram shows triangle \(\mathrm{ABC}\), with \(\hat{B} = \theta\), \(\hat{A} = 2\theta\), \(\mathrm{BC} = a\) and \(\mathrm{AC} = b\).
show that \(b = \frac{3a}{4}\).
[2]\([\mathrm{BA}]\) is extended to form an isosceles triangle \(\mathrm{DAC}\), with \(\hat{D} = \theta\), as shown in the following diagram.
Find the value of \(\sin{\mathrm{C\hat{A}D}}\).
[3]Find the area of triangle \(\mathrm{DAC}\), in terms of \(a\).
