Answer:
BC ≈ 5.44 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cosθ = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BC}{AC}[/tex] , that is
cos27° = [tex]\frac{BC}{6.1}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 6.1 )
6.1 × cos27° = BC , then
BC ≈ 5.44 m ( to 3 significant figures )
