Answer:

use the cosine (cos)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three trig functions:

sin

cos

tan

An easy way to remember which sides go with which function is the saying:

soh - cah - toa

so....breaking down the acronoym

sin refers to opposite over hypotenuse

cos refers to adjacent over hypotenuse

tan refers to opposite over adjacent

Hope this helps!!!! :)
