Question

In a right triangle, suppose one acute angle is Pi/3 and the length of the side adjacent to that angle is 12ft. How do you find the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

`24ft`

Explanation:

From definitions of trig ratios, `costheta=(adjacent)/(hypoten use)`

`thereforecospi/3=12/h`

`therefore h=12/(cos(pi/3))=12/(0,5)=24 ft`
