Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
You have the hypotenuse: 13
You seek the adjacent side: x
You have the angle enclosing the 2: 47 degrees.
The relationship is the Cosine
Solution
Cos(47) = opposite / hypotenuse
Cos(47) = 0.6820 From your calculator
Cos(47) = x / 13 Multiply both sides by 13
13*cos(47) = x
x=8.866
