What are trigonometric functions?
"The trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths."
What is hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent side of a right angled triangle?
"In a right angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side, an opposite side is the one across from a given angle, and an adjacent side is next to a given angle."
We have
Hypotenuse (AB) = 58 cm
Angle θ = 51 degree
From the figure, by using trigonometric functions
Cos θ = [tex]\frac{BC}{AB}[/tex]
we have to find BC
Cos [tex]51^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BC}{AB}[/tex]
We have, AB = 58 cm
BC = AB cos [tex]51^{0}[/tex]
⇒BC = 58 . cos [tex]51^{0}[/tex]
⇒BC = 36.50 cm
⇒BC = 36.5 cm
Hence, Adjacent leg is 36.5 cm
