You can put this solution on YOUR website! ABC is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1 inch long and one of the acute angles of 30 degrees. What is the length of the leg adjacent to this angle?
------
Draw the picture:
Equation:
cos(30) = adjacent side / 1
-----
adjacent leg = cos(30) = sqrt(3)/2 = 0.8660
