Answer:

x = 24.15

Explanation:

Hello!

We are given 3 things in this diagram:

  • Hypotenuse is 32
  • One angle measure is 41°
  • Side Adjacent to 41° is x

We need to use a trigonometric ratio that involves the hypotenuse and a side adjacent to an angle. The ratio would be
cos, which is the ratio
(Adjacent)/(Hypotenuse).

Solve for x


  • cos(41\°) = (x)/(32)

  • 32*cos(41\°) = x => Plugin the right side of the equation into a calculator to find x

  • x \approx 24.15

The value of x is approximately 24.15, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
