Answer 2

Answer 3

Since we need cos, we need CAH.

Answer 4

The AH and CAH means \[\frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse }\]

Answer 5

i tihnk C

Answer 6

But it's not C

Answer 7

That would be \[\frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse }\]

Answer 8

The cosine of D is \[\frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse }\]

Which is \[\frac{ 33 }{ 65 }\]

Answer 9

To avoid getting adjacent and opposite confused, I do this:

The adjacent is the side beside the angle that's not the hypotenuse.
