Question

Θ=43°
Adjacent side = 109 ft
Hypotenuse=?

Answer 1

about 149 ft

Explanation:

cosine of 43 degrees is about 0.73 (can be found using calculator)

cosine is the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse, so:

adjacent/hypotenuse=0.73

we know the adjacent is 109 so

109/hypotenuse=0.73

solve for hypotenuse

109/0.73=149.3

so the hypotenuse is about 149 ft
