Answer:

70.3 ft

Explanation:

The ratio of the adjacent side (33 or KM) to the hypotenuse (X or KL) is the cosine of the angle:

cos(62°) = 33/KL

Multiplying by KL/cos(62°) gives ...

KL = 33/cos(62°) ≈ 33/0.4694 ≈ 70.292 ≈ 70.3

The length of KL is about 70.3 feet.

___

Make sure your calculator is in degrees mode.
