Question

Triangle DEF contains right angle E. If angle D measures 40° and its adjacent side measures 7.6 units, what is the measure of side EF? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

$\\ \rm\longmapsto cot40=\dfrac{7.6}{EF}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto EF=\dfrac{7.6}{cot40}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto EF=\dfrac{7.6}{1.19}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto EF=6.38units$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\displaystyle 6,38\:units$

Step-by-step explanation:

You would set your proportion up like so:

$\displaystyle \frac{7,6}{EF} = cot\:40° \\ \\ 7,6 = EFcot\:40° → 6,3771571969... = \frac{7,6}{cot\:40°} \\ \\ 6,38 ≈ EF$
