Question

I tried solving this like I was taught but it didn't get any of the answer options

Answer 1

For the given right angle triangle:

Hypotenuse = x

The adjacent side to the angle 35 = 9

So,

$\begin{gathered} \cos 35=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ \cos 35=\frac{9}{x} \\ \\ x=\frac{9}{\cos 35}=10.987 \end{gathered}$

Rounding to the nearest tenth

So, the answer will be x = 11
