\n" ); document.write( "You have a right triangle with base = 60,
\n" ); document.write( "base angle = 40 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Find the length of the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "cos(40) = 60/hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "hypotenuse = 60/cos(40) = 78.32 ft of string
