Sorry it was this one
OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):
here is what you need to do:
45^2 + 13^2 = x^2
square the a and b values to get
2025 + 169 = x^2
Add the a and b values to get
2194 = x^2
take the square root of 2194 to get
x = 46.84

which one uses opposite side and hypotenuse?
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
opposite is 13 and hyp. is x
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
yes, but what trig ratio uses those sides?
OpenStudy (palwandew):
use cos theta
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
@Palwandew cos theta mean adjacent side divide hypotenuse so this not is helpfully
- so than what trig. function will result the right answer - how you think ?

@jhonyy9 we have base= 13 and hypotenuse is x.
cos 45=13/x
now solve for x
OpenStudy (palwandew):
cos 45= 0.707
0.707=13/x
(0.707)*x=13
x=13/0.707
x=18.28
which is option C
OpenStudy (palwandew):
@jhonyy9 please check my solution and let me know if there is any mistake.
