Okay. I have a quick question.
If I have a hypotnuse of 13, and I know an angle is squareroot3/2 (cos 30) how do I find out the EXACT length of the adjacent side?

Hello abc10I assume you mean the angle is $\displaystyle 30^o$, and its cosine is $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt3}{2}$, in which case all you can do is to say that the length of the adjacent side is $\displaystyle 13\cos 30^o = \frac{13\sqrt3}{2}$. That's its exact value. Any attempt to write this as a decimal will give an approximate value.Quote:
