Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

the side "?" is the Adjacent side (Adj)  and we are given the angle and the Hypontenuse ( long side) (Hyp)  of this triangle

so use CAH

cos(75) =  Adj / 8

algebra to solve for the Adj side (which is the "?" for this problem )

8*cos(75) = Adj

2.07055 = Adj

so the "?" is  2.1 ft ( rounded to the nearest 10th )
