General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Trigonometry</u>
- [Right Triangles Only] cos∅ = adjacent over hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
We are given a right triangle. We can use trig to find the ratio.
<u>Step 2: Identify</u>
<em>POV from angle S</em>
Adjacent = 8
Hypotenuse = 17
<u>Step 3: Write</u>
- Substitute [cosine]: cos(s) = 8/17
B
1/4 = 8/3 * x
X = 8/12
X= 2/3
