Answer:

x = 78.4 units

Explanation:

here given x as hypotenuse and 65 as adjacent

using this the formula for cos can be formed


(adjacent )/(hypotenuse ) = cos(34°)


(65)/(hypotenuse ) = cos(34°)


(65)/(cos(34)) = hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 78.4 units

As a result, x = hypotenuse, x = 78.4 units
