Answer:

m is equal to
34√(2)

Explanation:

We can use the cosine function to evaluate m.

Note that
m is the hypotenuse in this triangle.


cos(x)=(A)/(H)


A is the adjacent side


H is the hypotenuse

Lets look at the 60 degree angle.

The side adjacent to it is
17√(2).

Therefore we can say that


cos(60)=(17√(2) )/(H)

Lets solve for
H.


cos(60) is equal to
(1)/(2).


(1)/(2) =(17√(2) )/(H)

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction. Set this equal to the product of the denominator of the first fraction and the numerator of the second fraction.


1*H=17√(2)*2\\H=17√(2)*2\\H=34√(2)
