Question

Good evening, I need help on question 1. For a geometry practice question. Please help:)

Answer 1

1) We have a rigth triangle.

We have to find the length of the leg x.

As we know the hypotenuse and one of the angles, we can write the trigonometric ratio:

`\begin{gathered} \cos(32\degree)=(Adjacent)/(Hypotenuse)=(x)/(14) \\ x=14*\cos(32\degree) \\ x\approx14*0.848 \\ x\approx11.9 \end{gathered}`

Answer: x = 11.9
