Trigonometry question for maths, help please?

that makes a right triangle with hypotenuse of 16.3 cm and an angle of 37 degrees, so then to find the length you can use trigonometry to find the longest side, so since cos = adjacent/hypotenuse multiply the hypotenuse times the cosine to give you the adjacent side, so 16.3*cos(37). I dont have a calculator on my but make sure you are in degrees not radians.
