Given the equation:


cos32=(400.6)/(H)

Let's rewrite the equation for H.

To rewrite for H, first multiply both sides by H:


\begin{gathered} Hcos32=(400.6)/(H)*H \\ \\ Hcos32=400.6 \end{gathered}

Now divide both sides by cos32:


\begin{gathered} (Hcos32)/(cos32)=(400.6)/(cos32) \\ \\ H=(400.6)/(cos32) \\ \\ H=472.38 \end{gathered}

ANSWER:


\begin{gathered} H=(400.6)/(cos32) \\ \\ H=472.38 \end{gathered}
