Answer:
Explanation:
Triangle DEF is a right angle triangle.
From the given right angle triangle,
DE represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
With ∠E as the reference angle,
EF represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
DF represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
To determine EF, we would apply
trigonometric ratio
Cos θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,
Cos 49 = EF/8
EF = 8Cos49 = 8 × 0.6561
EF = 5.2488
Rounding to the nearest tenth, it becomes 5.2
