We have been given a right angle triangle EKL. As KH has been given as the altitude (perpendicular) of the right angled triangle, and K is the right angle, we can say that EK is tthe base of the triangle and EH is the only side lleft, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Where,
EK = Base = 3
KH = perpendicular altitude
EH = Hypotenuse
m<K = 90
m<E = 25
We know that
cosθ = Base/ Hypotenuse
cos 25 = 3/ EH
EH = 3/cos25
EH = 3.31
Perpendicular alitutude can also be calculated by using the formula for tanθ.
