Answer:

The correct answer is last option

Cos(55) = 11/x

Explanation:

Points to remember

Trigonometric ratios

Sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

Cos θ = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse

Tan θ = opposite side/Adjacent side

From the figure we can see a right angled triangle, with one angle is 55 degree, one side is 11 and hypotenuse is x

To find the correct trigonometric formula

Here we have adjacent side of angle 55

Cos 55 = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse

Cos 55 = 11/x

Therefore the correct answer is last option
