Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In any triangle, the cosine/cos of an angle is equal to its adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse (longest side) of the triangle. (a/h)
The angle marked 40 degrees has an adjacent side of and the hypotenuse of the triangle is 60.
Therefore, we have the equation:
This is an isosceles triangle. The angles at the base are congruent (they have the same measures).
Look at the picture.
We know: The sum of the measures of angles in a triangle is equal 180°.
Therefore we have the equation:
<em>combine like terms</em>
<em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 7</em>
