Question

Need help with trigonometry cos32=400.6/H

Answer 1

Given the equation:

$cos32=\frac{400.6}{H}$

Let's rewrite the equation for H.

To rewrite for H, first multiply both sides by H:

$\begin{gathered} Hcos32=\frac{400.6}{H}*H \\ \\ Hcos32=400.6 \end{gathered}$

Now divide both sides by cos32:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{Hcos32}{cos32}=\frac{400.6}{cos32} \\ \\ H=\frac{400.6}{cos32} \\ \\ H=472.38 \end{gathered}$

ANSWER:

$\begin{gathered} H=\frac{400.6}{cos32} \\ \\ H=472.38 \end{gathered}$
