Given a triangle CAB side AC = 12CM cosine of angle ACB = 0.6 find side BC

Knowing the AC side and the cosine of the ACB angle, we find the unknown BC side in the CAB triangle:

The cosine of an acute angle in a right-angled triangle is the ratio of the adjacent leg to the hypotenuse.

cos ACB = BC / AC;

BC = AC * cos ACB;

BC = 12 * 0.6 = 7.2 cm.

Answer: BC = 7.2 cm.
