You have the adjacent and opposite side, which trig ratio do you use $$\sin(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$$ $$\cos(\theta) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$$ $$\tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$$

Theta is the angle, opposite is the opposite side, adjacent is the side that is not the hypotenuse, and hypotenuse is hypotenuse
I meant earlier that we needed the adjacent side and hypotenuse
And so with theta, adjacent and hypotenuse, we know that we have to use the cosine trig ratio

What grade are you in?
