A special kind of triangle is a right triangle whose definite characteristic is having a 90° angle. It is also special because there are derived trigonometric formulas/identities that can be applied to it. A right triangle has three sides: hypotenuse, adjacent side and opposite side. The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle. You can determine this visually, if not, quantitatively. The other sides are with respect to a given angle.
For the problem, it might have asked for the opposite side or the hypotenuse. We use the cosine function to find the hypotenuse:
cos 58° = adjacent/hypotenuse = 4/hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 7.55 units
Then, we use the tangent function to find the opposite side.
tan 58° = opposite/adjacent = opposite/4
opposite = 6.4 units

What compares the steep of linear functions
Literally, steepness means slope.
So, when the slope of the two linear functions are calculated, we can make comparison between the calculated slopes to determine which of the functions is steeper or less steep.
Also:
Higher slope means steeper line
e.g.
4 is steeper than 1
Answer: C. LA
Explanation:
Angle W = Angle R (given)
VU = ST (given)
Angle U = Angle T = 90 (right angle of the right triangle)
Then we can say that triangle VWU = SRT (ASA)
The graphs of y =1/x and y = 3/x – 4 can be compared by saying that c<span>ompared to the graph of y =1/x , the graph of y =3/x – 4 is a vertical stretch by a factor of 3 and a translation of 4 units down. This can be seen clearly when you graph the functions on a x-y coordinate plane.</span>
