Question

suppose there is a right angled triangle it's hypotenuse is x cm its opposite side is 5cm cos(60) is 0.5 find x cm

Answer 1

Hypotenuse = 10 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Hypotenuse = x cm

Base side = 5 cm

Cos(60) = 0.5

Find:

Hypotenuse = x cm

Computation:

Cos(60) = Base side / Hypotenuse

0.5 = 5 cm / Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 5 / 0.5

Hypotenuse = 10 cm
