Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Cosine is the adjacent side over the hypotenuse (You can remember sin, cos, and tan by using sohcahtoa or sin = opposite/hypotenuse, cos = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan = opposite over adjacent). I think a picture would help, too.
I attached a picture of what I think the triangle would look like.
If the picture is right (we're assuming it is) and going with what we're given (the triangle was addressed as triangle XYZ, meaning that <u>angle Y is in the middle and that's the one we'll use</u>).
Looking at my picture then:
.
It depends on the problem really. One example is that you drive 10 miles in 2 hours. So you divide the distance over time to get 10/2 = 5. This means you drove 5 miles per hour (mph). The unit rate for this example is 5 mph.
Answer:
10 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
18*2=36
56-36=20
20/2= 10
The missing side length is 10 inches.
Hope this helps! Have a nice day :)
