Answer:

x = 74.74 m

Explanation:

you need simple trigonometry to solve it

cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse

cos(42.2) is about 0.74

so X / Hypotenuse = 0.74

we know hypotenuse is 101 m

X / 101 = 0.74

x = 74.74 m

hope this helped!

I think it would be

X= 101cos(222.2) =-74.82 or 74.82 tithe left.

I’m not sure.. hope it is right :)
