Answer:

B) 6.68

Explanation:

Use Cosine.

Cosine= Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse

In this case the base you want to find is adjacent to the angle, 42°. Hence,

Cos (42)= adjacent ÷ hypotenuse

Cos (42) = x ÷ 9

x = Cos (42) × 9. Input that into your calculator.

x= 6.68

To remember the trigonometric ratios/formulas

Use the acronym, SOHCAHTOA

Hope this helps!!!!
