Question

Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

We know

`\boxed{\sf cos\theta=(Base)/(Hypotenuse)}`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto cos59=(x)/(28)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.5=(x)/(28)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=28* 0.5`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x\approx 14`

Answer 2

`x = 14`

Explanation:

`\cos( \theta) = (a)/(h) \\ \cos(59) = (x)/(28) \\ 0.5 * 28 = x \\ 14 = x`
