Explanation:

Step 1: List out all of the formulas for the trigonometric functions

sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse

cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse

tan(x) = opposite/adjacent

Step 2: Find the value of RS

cos(31) = RS/24.8 NOT 24.8/RS

sin(31) = QS/24.8 NOT RS/24.8

sin(31) = QS/24.8 NOT 24.8/RS

cos(31) = RS/24.8 WHICH IS SAME AS RS/24.8

Answer: The correct length would be given from Option D, cos(31) = RS/24.8
