Which trigonometric function would be used to find the length of this triangle's hypotenuse?


A. sin 25°
B. cos 25°
C. tan 25°

Which trigonometric function would be used to find the length of this triangles hypotenuse A sin 25 B cos 25 C tan 25 class=

Respuesta :

B. cosine 25 degrees

because cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse

Answer:

Cos 25° = [tex]\frac{adjecent}{hypontnuse}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A right angled triangle with angle 25° and side = 12 cm

To find : Which trigonometric function would be used to find the length of this triangle's hypotenuse.

Solution : We have given that adjacent side  = 12 cm ,

By the trigonometric ratio

Cos (theta) = [tex]\frac{adjecent}{hypontnuse}[/tex].

Therefore, Cos 25° = [tex]\frac{adjecent}{hypontnuse}[/tex].

Therefore, Cos 25° = [tex]\frac{adjecent}{hypontnuse}[/tex].
