Which equation can be used to solve for c?
c = (5)cos(35°)
c = 5/cos(35°)
c = (5)sin(35°)
c = 5/sin(35°)
Solution:
The ratio of the adjacent side of a right triangle to the hypotenuse is called the cosine.
From the triangle, we know that
cosθ = adjacent/Hypotenuse
Substituting the values
cos 35° = 5/c
So we get
c = 5/cos35°
Therefore, the equation c = 5/cos35° can be used to solve for c.
Which equation can be used to solve for c?
Summary:
The equation 5/cos35° can be used to solve for c.
