The expression that models the height is  8 cos35

SOH CAH TOA identity

From the given information, we have the following

  • Hypotenuse = 8meters
  • Height  = adjacent

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

cos theta = adj/hyp

cos 35 = adj/hyp

cos 35 = adj/8

Hyp  = 8 cos35

Hence the expression that models the height is  8 cos35
