Question

Find the missing side. Round it the nearest tenth.​

Answer 1

x = 19.1 cm

Explanation:

→ Find the name of the side you are not given

Opposite

→ Find a formula without opposite in it

Cos = Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse

→ Rearrange to make adjacent the subject

Adjacent = Cos × Hypotenuse

→ Substitute in the values

Adjacent = Cos ( 30 ) × 22

→ Simplify

Adjacent = 19.1

Answer 2

Answer: x= 11√3= 19.0525 = 19.1

Explanation:

Let the reference angle be 30

so

cos 30 = b/h

√3/2 = x/22

or, 22√3 = 2x

or. x = (22√3)/2

so, x = 11√3
