Jovani Jordan · Answer 1

1. The cosine of C is the ratio of the side adjacent to it to the hypotenuse.

cosine C = 54 / 90 = 0.6

The answer is letter B.

2. Let x be the length of the side opposite to 60° such that,

sin 60° = h / 20 m

The value of h is equal to 17.32 m.

3. Let the angle be C such that,

tan C = 3 / 4

The value of C is 36.87. The answer is letter C.
