Question 21 • Financial Math
The side adjacent to a 30° angle in a right triangle is found with cosine: cos(30°) = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse. With c = 8 meters as the hypotenuse, the adjacent side is 8 × cos(30°) ≈ 6.928 meters. At $10 per meter, the cost is about 6.928 × $10 = $69.28, so the answer is A, $69.28.
