Cos (-60) = 1/2

If you look at the cosine graph below you can see the black line pointing at 60 degrees is at 0.5, which is 1/2

Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos (-60)=1/2

This is a special triangle

see below as the ratio of each side

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the height of the building pictured below if its shadow is 100 ft. long?

Yeah.. baby, do the SOH CAH TOA with the hula hoop

$\bf 
sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\\ \quad \\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}
$

so.. hmmm we have in the picture, an angle, and two sides,
actually, is the "adjacent" side, and the "opposite"

so.. which of those ratios give us only
the angle
the adjacent side
the opposite side?

ahhha!, is Ms tangent
so $\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\implies tan(42^o)=\cfrac{h}{100}$

solve for "h"
