Answer:

The answer is option A

Explanation:

Since the figure above is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find GV

To find GV we use cosine

cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

From the question

GV is the adjacent

GC is the hypotenuse

So we have


\cos(37) = (GV)/(GC)

GC = 55°

GV


\cos(37) = (GV)/(55)

GV = 55 cos 37

GV = 43.92495

We have the final answer as

GV = 43.92

Hope this helps you
