Question

I have no clue how to do this!!!

Answer 1

We can use trigonometric formulas to solve this question. Let's use cosine, since we can use the adjacent side and hypotenuse and solve for the hypotenuse:

We need to convert degrees to radians via the equation:
`1degree= ( \pi )/(180)`

So 20 degrees converted to radians is:
`20* ( \pi )/(180)= ( \pi )/(9)=0.349`

So now we use the equation:


`cos(0.349)= (35)/(y)`


`y= (35)/(cos(0.349))`


`y=37.25`

So the length of the hypotenuse is 37.25.
