Notes
M1 A1: M1 for cos
A1 for \(\dfrac{5.4}{8.7}\) or 0.6206...
or M1 for sin and \(\dfrac{\sqrt{\text{“}46.53\text{”}}}{8.7}\) following correct Pythagoras and A1 for value which rounds to 0.78
or M1 for tan and \(\dfrac{\sqrt{\text{“}46.53\text{”}}}{5.4}\) following correct Pythagoras and A1 for value which rounds to 1.26
A1: for answer rounding to 51.6
