Question

Find FH.Write your answer as an integer or as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.FH = ____

Answer 1

With respect to the 26 degree angle given,

FH is adjacent side

FG = 9 is the hypotenuse

We can use the trig ratio > COSINE

$\cos 26=\frac{FH}{9}$

Cross multiplying, we get our answer:

$\begin{gathered} \cos 26=\frac{FH}{9} \\ FH=9\cos 26 \\ FH=8.1 \end{gathered}$
