There is a set of formulas called 'Trigonometric Identities' that comes in handy when solving this kind of problems, the one we will use to solve this exercise is:

[tex]\cos (x)=\frac{A}{H}[/tex]

This expression is valid for any right triangle

From the figure notice that taking the angle 27° as the reference, the side of length 6 is the adjacent (A) and, of course, x is the Hypotenuse.

So, we have that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos (27degree)=\frac{6}{x} \\ \Rightarrow x=6\cos (27degree)=5.346 \end{gathered}[/tex]

And, to the near tenth

[tex]x=5.3[/tex]
