Question

Using the triangle below, which equation can be used to solve for x?




cos 41° =x/25

sin 41° =x/25

tan 41° =25/x

cos 41° =25/x

Answer 1

@habibmatatta

Answer 2

cos a = base/hyp

(a is the angle)

Answer 3

soh cah toa. this time its the cah.

Answer 4

adjacent/hypotenuse this time is x/25

Answer 5

how come?

Answer 6

adjacent is next to so the side length next to the 41 degree angle is x and the hypotenuse is 25 so cos41=x/25

Answer 7

does that make sense? the hypotenuse and adjacent side of the angle will never be the same

Answer 8

oh okay

Answer 9

yeah it does make sense thank u :)
