In a right triangle, angle c measures 40. the hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 inches long. what is the approximate length of the side adjacent to angle c

In a right triangle, we know that we have one angle that is 90 degrees. In order to calculate the length of the adjacent side we have to use the cosine function of angle C which will give us the adjacent side length. The cosine function is: adjacent/hypotenuse = cos (40). We know the hypotenuse length is 10, so the equation is now adjacent/10 = cos (40). Solving for adjacent length we get 7.66 inches.
