Answer:

Let's solve each problem one by one:

Problem 10: Which of these is equal to $\sin 48^\circ$?

We know the co - function identity: $\sin\theta=\cos(90^{\circ}-\theta)$.
For $\theta = 48^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}-48^{\circ}=42^{\circ}$. So $\sin 48^{\circ}=\cos 42^{\circ}$.
Also, $\sin\theta=\sin(180^{\circ}-\theta)$, but $180 - 48=132^{\circ}$, and there is no option with $\sin132^{\circ}$ in the given options (assuming the options are as per the standard problem). The co - function identity gives us $\sin48^{\circ}=\cos42^{\circ}$, so the answer should be the option with $\cos42^{\circ}$ (assuming option a is $\cos42^{\circ}$).

Problem 11: $\angle J$ and $\angle K$ are complementary angles in a right triangle. $\cos J=\frac{1}{4}$. What is the value of $\sin K$?

If two angles are complementary, i.e., $\angle J+\angle K = 90^{\circ}$, then $\sin K=\sin(90^{\circ}-\angle J)$.
We know that $\sin(90^{\circ}-\alpha)=\cos\alpha$. So $\sin K=\cos J$.
Since $\cos J=\frac{1}{4}$, then $\sin K=\frac{1}{4}$? Wait, no, wait. Wait, in a right triangle, the two non - right angles are complementary. Let the right angle be $\angle L$. So $\angle J+\angle K = 90^{\circ}$, so $\angle K=90^{\circ}-\angle J$. Then $\sin K=\sin(90^{\circ}-\angle J)=\cos J$. But if $\cos J=\frac{1}{4}$, then $\sin K=\frac{1}{4}$? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's recall: In a right triangle, $\cos J=\frac{\text{adjacent to }J}{\text{hypotenuse}}$, and $\sin K=\frac{\text{opposite to }K}{\text{hypotenuse}}$. But the side opposite to $K$ is the side adjacent to $J$. So $\sin K=\cos J$. So if $\cos J = \frac{1}{4}$, then $\sin K=\frac{1}{4}$? But the options are not $\frac{1}{4}$. Wait, maybe the problem is $\cos J=\frac{3}{4}$? Wait, maybe a typo. If $\cos J=\frac{3}{4}$, then $\sin K=\frac{3}{4}$. Let's assume that the correct value of $\cos J$ is $\frac{3}{4}$ (since the options are $\frac{3}{5},\frac{4}{5},\frac{3}{4},\frac{4}{3}$ etc.). If $\angle J+\angle K = 90^{\circ}$, then $\sin K=\cos J$. So if $\cos J=\frac{3}{4}$, then $\sin K=\frac{3}{4}$ (option c if option c is $\frac{3}{4}$).

Problem 12: Find the value of $x$.

We have a right triangle with hypotenuse $= 5$ and one angle $= 62^{\circ}$.
We know that $\cos\theta=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$. Let's assume that the angle at $Q$ is $62^{\circ}$, and the side $x$ is the adjacent side to the $62^{\circ}$ angle.
$\cos62^{\circ}=\frac{x}{5}$
$x = 5\times\cos62^{\circ}$
$\cos62^{\circ}\approx0.4695$
$x=5\times0.4695 = 2.3475\approx2.35$, but the options are $3.3,4.5,3.7,7.5$. Wait, maybe it's a sine problem. If the angle is $62^{\circ}$, and $x$ is the opposite side. Then $\sin62^{\circ}=\frac{x}{5}$
$\sin62^{\circ}\approx0.8829$
$x = 5\times0.8829=4.4145\approx4.5$ (option b)

Problem 13: Find the value of $x$.

We have a right triangle with angle at $W = 32^{\circ}$, hypotenuse $= 4.9$. We need to find the length of $x$ (the side adjacent to the $32^{\circ}$ angle? Or opposite?). Wait, the triangle is right - angled at $V$. So $\angle V = 90^{\circ}$, $\angle W=32^{\circ}$, hypotenuse $WU = 4.9$, and $x$ is the length of $WV$ (adjacent to $32^{\circ}$) or $VU$ (opposite to $32^{\circ}$).
If we want to find $x$ (let's assume $x$ is $WV$), then $\cos32^{\circ}=\frac{x}{4.9}$
$x = 4.9\times\cos32^{\circ}\approx4.9\times0.8480\approx4.15\approx4.2$ (option d)

Problem 14: Find the value of $x$.

We have a right triangle with one side $= 12$ and one angle $= 60^{\circ}$. Let the right angle be between the side of length $12$ and the side of length $x$.
We know that $\tan60^{\circ}=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$. If the side of length $12$ is adjacent to the $60^{\circ}$ angle, and $x$ is opposite to the $60^{\circ}$ angle, then $\tan60^{\circ}=\frac{x}{12}$
$\tan60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3}\approx1.732$
$x = 12\times1.732 = 20.784\approx20.8$ (option b)

Problem 15: Find the length of $x$.

We have a right triangle with angle at $R = 38^{\circ}$, side $RS = 1.5$ (adjacent to the $38^{\circ}$ angle), and $x$ is the side $RT$ (hypotenuse?) or $ST$? Wait, the triangle is right - angled at $S$. So $\angle S = 90^{\circ}$, $\angle R=38^{\circ}$, $RS = 1.5$, and we need to find $x$ (let's assume $x$ is $RT$, the hypotenuse). Then $\cos38^{\circ}=\frac{RS}{RT}$
$\cos38^{\circ}\approx0.7880$
$RT=\frac{RS}{\cos38^{\circ}}=\frac{1.5}{0.7880}\approx1.903\approx1.9$ (option b)

1. $\boldsymbol{\cos42^{\circ}}$ (assuming option a is $\cos42^{\circ}$)
2. If $\cos J=\frac{3}{4}$, then $\boldsymbol{\frac{3}{4}}$ (option c)
3. $\boldsymbol{4.5}$ (option b)
4. $\boldsymbol{4.2}$ (option d)
5. $\boldsymbol{20.8}$ (option b)
6. $\boldsymbol{1.9}$ (option b)
