EF is the hypoteneuse and we're trying to find the side adjacent to angle E, i.e., DE

So, we can use the cosine for this....we have

cos(68) = DE/11   mutiply both sides by 11

11* cos (68) = DE = about 4.12

The second one is just like the first...we know the hypoteneuse XY and we're trying to find the adjacnt side to angle Y, i.e., ZY

So we have

cos (15) = ZY / 14

14 * cos (15) = ZY = about  13.52
