Answer:

12.22

Explanation:

I think this is it, but double check using the other values now that we have 2 to work with.

Turn the triangle around to where HI is along the bottom. (Not necessary to solve, but easier to think about.)

We know Tan = Opp/Adj, and we know Opp = 11, and tan 42° = 0.90.

So, Tan(42°) = Opp/Adj

0.90 = 11/adj

Adj*0.90 = 11

Adj = 11 / 0.90 = 12.22 (rounded to 2 decimals.)

Check this by calculating sq. rt. hyp = 11^2 + 12.22^2, then see if that gives the other values.

And it does, sq.rt. of hyp = sq.rt. 270.32 roughly 16.44.

Cos = Adj/Hyp = 12.22/16.44 = .7433
