You, need to use basic trigonometry involving sin, cos , tan..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I will help you with the first one. We know a angle 60, we need the adjacent side and we also know the hypotenuse. So, the trig fn which can be used is cos. Since, \[\cos \theta =\frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse }\]

soo...

Hence you get \[\cos 60 = \frac{ a }{ 8}\]

confused... sorry

First you need to know the definitions of trigonometric functions.. Understand the terms adjacent,opposite,hypotenuse properly and solve these.
