Big ifs, question writers. These are of course approximations.
The "co" in cosine comes from complementary angles. It means since


Answer: cos 48° = 2/3
Similarly,


Answer: tan 69.5° = 8/3
5.21.
To find this, give both numbers decimal points before setting up a subtraction equation as so:
15.00 - 9.79
Then proceed to solve to get the final answer of 5.21.
Hope this helps!
there is not enough info given to tell how long it would take
The only solution to this equation is 8/3, therefore the answer is C.
