Math Problem Statement
Find the adjacent
Solution
To find the adjacent side length of the triangle given in the image, we can use trigonometric functions.
In the given right triangle:
- The side opposite angle is 8.
- The hypotenuse is 15.
- We need to find the adjacent side.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Substituting the given values:
The exact value of the adjacent side is .
