Question 452472
a right triangle has a leg that measures 5 meters, the angle at the intersection of that same leg and the hypoteneuese is 35 degrees.... How do you find the measure of the hypoteneuese?
.
You apply trigonometry.
cos  = adjacent/hypotenuse
.
Let h = hypotenuse
then
cos 35 = 5/h
h*cos 35 = 5
h = 5/cos 35
h = 6.10 meters
