Question

Solve for X in the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 10.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos42° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{x}{14}$ ( multiply both sides by 14 )

14 × cos42° = x , then

x ≈ 10.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
