Question

In this triangle, what is the value of x? Enter your answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box.

Answer 1

the answer is 26! X=26. There is a right angle so that means it equals to 90°. So the equation is 64+x=90. Then you subtract 64 from 90.And Bam 24

Answer 2

The value of x is 56.5 km.

Explanation:

In a right angled triangle the cosine ratio is defined as

`\cos\theta=(base)/(hypotenuse)=(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)`

From the given figure it is clear that the adjacent sides of angle 28 degree is x and the measure of hypotenuse is 64 km.

`\cos(28^(\circ))=(x)/(64)}`

`64* \cos(28^(\circ))=x`

`x=56.508645943`

`x\approx 56.5`

Therefore the value of x is 56.5 km.
