Answer:
cos(52°) = 18/x
x = 18·sec(52°)
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
In this geometry, that means ...
cos(52°) = 18/x
You can use the relation sec(x) = 1/cos(x) to rewrite this as ...
x = 18·sec(52°)
_____
You can also use the complementary angle and the complementary trig function.
sin(90° -52°) = 18/x
The area formula of a triangle is 1/2 ×base ×height
so 1/2×3 in ×8 in ---> 1/2×24 in = 12 in
Anyhoot, you can multiply 1.5 by 0.75 to find the time. And you can multiply by 60 to get 67.5 minutes, aka, 1.125 hours
