OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused bc i only have one side to work with which is 11

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

The other side you have to work with is the hypotenuse. The longest side, the x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i should use cos?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which would be 11/x?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Yes. So you will write it as: cos theta = adj/hyp cos 24 = 11/x Solve for x.
