Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Π€)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Π€)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Π€) = Opp / Adj

the side "?" is the Adjacent side (Adj) Β and we are given the angle and the Hypontenuse ( long side) (Hyp) Β of this triangle

so use CAH

cos(75) = Β Adj / 8

algebra to solve for the Adj side (which is the "?" for this problem )

8*cos(75) = Adj

2.07055 = Adj

so the "?" is Β 2.1 ft ( rounded to the nearest 10th )
