Given a right triangle and one of the acute angles = 63

x represents the hypotenuse of the triangle

The adjacent side of the angle 63 = 5

We should know that :


\begin{gathered} \cos 63=\frac{adjacent}{\text{hypotenuse}}=(5)/(x) \\ \\ So,\text{ } \\ x=(5)/(\cos 63)=11.013 \end{gathered}

Rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth

So,

the value of x = 11.01
