Answer: About 3.06
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use trigonometry functions to solve for AC. Let the ?, representing AC, be "x" in our mathematical work.
Since we have the hypotenuse and x is adjacent to the angle given, I am going to use cosine.
cos(θ) = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse }[/tex]
cos(40) = [tex]\frac{x}{4}[/tex]
0.766 ≈ [tex]\frac{x}{4}[/tex]
3.06 ≈ x
x ≈ 3.06
