Cos(35) = x/6
or 6 * cos(35) = x
Answer:
Formula to find the area of a triangle is 1/2(bxh). The area of the right triangle is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you would plug in the base and height into the formula and follow the order of operations (P.E.M.D.A.S). So the equation would then read 1/2(5x11.2). Once you solve inside the parenthesis, the equation then reads, 1/2(56). Then you solve what half of 56 is, which is 28.
I hoped this helped you!
The correct answer is Choice B: 53.0 feet.
If you draw a picture of the cross section, you will have a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 58 and one of the legs is 23.6. All you have to do is use the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for the missing side.
x^2 + 23.6^2 = 58^2
