x = 8
cos60° = x/16
1/2 = x/16
2x = 16
x = 16 : 2
x = 8
Answer:
[tex]\Huge \boxed{x=8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\sf \displaystyle cos(60\° ) = \frac{x}{16}[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 16.
[tex]\sf \displaystyle 16 \cdot cos(60\° )= \frac{x}{16} \cdot 16[/tex]
Simplifying the equation.
[tex]\sf \displaystyle 16 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = x[/tex]
[tex]\sf 8=x[/tex]
