pls help
1 Here, AB is the hypotenuse and BC is the opposite side
So....the trig function that relates opp/hyp = cosine
So
cos (22°) = BC / 18 multiply both sides by 18
18 *cos (22°) = BC ≈ 16.7
P.S. - drawing a picture might help you with these, Cerenetie

We know the side adjacent to the angle = 6
And we are looking for the hypotenuse = board length
The trig function that relates the adjacent and hypotenuse is the cosine
cos (55°) = 6 / hyp rearrange as
hyp = 6 / cos (55°) ≈ 10.5 ft
