Question

Find the measure of x.

29°
X
3.7
x = [?]
X
Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

x ≈ 3.24

Explanation:

using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos29° =
`(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(x)/(3.7)` ( multiply both sides by 3.7 )

3.7 × cos29° = x , then

x ≈ 3.24 ( to the nearest hundredth )
