Use the cos ratio to figure this out. You have the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the leg on the ground. The hypotenuse is 20 and the leg is 10. The cos ratio says that cosA = side adjacent/hypotenuse. So fill in the blanks here: cosA = 10/20...cosA=1/2. In your calculator, you will enter inverse cos(.5) to find that the angle in question is 60 degrees. To find the inverse function on your calculator, press the "2nd" button and the "cos" then in the (), enter ".5".

How do I find the radius from the circumference of a circle
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Just remember to divide the diameter by two to get the radius. If you were asked to find the radius instead of the diameter, you would simply divide 7 feet by 2 because the radius is one-half the measure of the diameter. The radius of the circle is 3.5 feet.
