If we reflect the triangle, it can be easier to identify the different sides in the triangle.
Because we know the hypotenuse and want to find the adjacent, it is appropriate to consider to the quotient for the cosine of an angle,
 =adjacenthypotenuse  . |
From this equation, we can solve for x,
 cos32( 21.2). |
