Zero is equal to its negative
AB = 24
BC = 45
AC = 51
cos C = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos C = BC / AC
cos C = 45/51
Answer: a) Length of wire to replace old one=9ft
b) Length of wire=3.09ft
Leftover wire=0.91ft
Step-by-step explanation: from the right angle triangle, Tan&=20/15
&=53.13°
Length of wire,x=cos 31.13=x/15
15cos31.13
X=9
b) Tan&=10/6
Tan^-110/6
&=59.05
Length= 6cos59.04
X=3.09
4-3.09=.91= leftover wire
