Answer:

7.8cos23 feet

Explanation:

Which expression can be used to find AC

From the given diagram;

Hypotenuse = AB = 7.8ft

Adjacent to <A = AC

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity;

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 23 = AC/AB

cos 23 = AC/7.8

AC = 7.8cos23

AC = 7.8(0.9205)

Hence the measure of AC is 7.8cos23 feet
