Remember again here, you have a length opposite a known angle and you want the one adjacent. Remember which trig function operates on those.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@qpHalcy0n is it D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mukushla is D correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry grabbed some lunch, let me work it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aww

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait its B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is correct. Remember that the picture mukushla drew is that of an isosceles triangle (two equal angles, thus two equal sides) therefore y MUST be 7. You can then use pythagorean to arrive at the other.
