Trigonometry
- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] cosθ = adjacent over hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Identify variables
Angle θ = 45°
Adjacent Leg = 25
Hypotenuse = x
Step 2: Solve for x
- Substitute in variables [cosine]: [tex]\displaystyle cos(45^\circ) = \frac{x}{25}[/tex]
- [Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 25 on both sides: [tex]\displaystyle 25cos(45^\circ) = x[/tex]
- Rewrite: [tex]\displaystyle x = 25cos(45^\circ)[/tex]
- Evaluate: [tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{25\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]
