The value of x in the diagram is 39.2

Trigonometric ratio is the relationship between the side length of a right triangle. Some of the trigonometric functions are;

sin, cos , tan e.t.c

sinθ = opp/hyp

cosθ = adj/hyp

tanθ = opp/adj

To solve the value of x , we use trigonometric ratio

x is adjascent to the acute angle and 6.1 is the hyp

cos50= x/6.1

x = 61cos50

x = 39.2

Therefore, the value of x is
