    Since angle C is not 90 degrees, it's one of the acute angles

    in the right triangle.

    (The side adjacent to angle C) divided by (hypotenuse)

    is the cosine of angle C.

    (adjacent) / (10 inches) = cos (40 degrees)

    Multiply each side by (10 inches):

    Adjacent side = (10 inches) x cos (40) =

    (10 inches) x 0.766 =

    7.66 inches (rounded)
