Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

You're given an angle, the adjacent side to that angle, and the hypotenuse. So use cosine.

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

cos 37° = 48 / x

Multiply both sides by x.

x cos 37° = 48

Divide both sides by cos 37°.

x = 48 / cos 37°

If desired, use a calculator to evaluate.

x ≈ 60.1

What is the irrational number in This set: 12.89, square root of 12 and 12/144 ?

kifflom [539]

Good night,

<span>Irrational numbers are those that can't be expressed as a fraction:

12.89 can be expressed as: </span> $\frac{1289}{100}$

$\frac{12}{144}= \frac{1}{12}$

<span>The above numbers can be expressed as a fraction, then the logical answer is: </span> $\sqrt{12}$

But we will check the answer:

$\sqrt{12}= \sqrt{2^{2}*3 } =2* \sqrt{3} =3.4641016...$

As you can see we can't express that number as a fraction, so that is te correct answer.
