Trigonometry

  • [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
  • [Right Triangles Only] cosθ = adjacent over hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Angle θ = 78°

Adjacent Leg = x

Hypotenuse = 32

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Substitute in variables [cosine]:                                                                       [tex]\displaystyle cos78^\circ = \frac{x}{32}[/tex]
  2. [Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 32 on both sides:                    [tex]\displaystyle 32cos78^\circ = x[/tex]
  3. Rewrite:                                                                                                             [tex]\displaystyle x = 32cos78^\circ[/tex]
  4. Evaluate:                                                                                                           [tex]\displaystyle x = 6.65317[/tex]
  5. Round:                                                                                                               [tex]\displaystyle x \approx 6.7[/tex]
