Pls help? don’t understand

cos N = 7/25 =.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adj side / hypotenuse

cos N = MN/ LN

We need to find the ad

Using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

MN^2 + 48^2 = 50^2

MN^2 + 2304 =2500

MN^2 = 2500-2304

MN^2 =196

Taking the square root

MN =14

cos N = MN/ LN

cos N = 14/50

cos N = 7/25

CosN (0.28)

A²+B²=C²

In this case we are trying to find the base so

C²-A² = B²

So 50² subtract 48²= B²

2,500 subtract 2,304 = 196

Square root of 196 = 14

Now we have all 3 sides of the triangle we find

Soh Cah Toa

Cah means Cos=Adjacent / hypotenuse

First we identify the Angle before we can decide which of the sides is labelled opposite anx adjacent

We have Angle N and we know our hypotenuse (The longest side of the triangle)

The opposite of the angle would be our opposite and the one thats niether our opposite or hypotenuse is our adjacent

In this cse the angle we solved for B²= 14

Again back "Cah" Cos= Adjacent/hypotenuse

So, 14/50 = 0.28
