Answer 1

x = 60.4

Explanation:

First, let's remember the three different trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, and tangent. In this case, we would use cosine because the adjacent side to the angle and hypothenuse are used/given.

`cos(22) = (56)/(x)`

We need to set up a proportion because there is not much else you could do here.

`(cos(22))/(1) =(56)/(x)`

Then, cross-multiply.

`cos(22) * x = 56`

Finally, divide both sides by cos(22). You'll probably need your calculator and make sure it's in degrees mode and not radians!

`(cos(22) * x)/(cos(22)) = (56)/(cos(22))`

`x = 60.4`

Rounded to the nearest tenth, x = 60.4.
