4 or 16

OpenStudy (kaitlyn_nicole):

so you need to do cos, because you're have the adjacent angle, and youre trying to find the hypotenuse.

OpenStudy (kaitlyn_nicole):

so you do cos(60)= 8/x

OpenStudy (kaitlyn_nicole):

so then you're trying to get x by itself, so then you divide it by x

OpenStudy (kaitlyn_nicole):

so you get x cos(60) = 8 but you still need x by itself, so then you divide cos(60) and you get x=8/cos(60)
