In the triangle Def D90 deg E68 deg and ef 11 cm find DE
in the triangle XYZ Z 90 DEG Y 15 DEG and yx 14 cm find zy
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
