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

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

That isn't a choice

@StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

use a trignometric ratio. sin, cos, tan. do you know those?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Yes but which one

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

|dw:1458856010736:dw|

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

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 ?

OpenStudy (palwandew):

@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.
