1) We have a rigth triangle.

We have to find the length of the leg x.

As we know the hypotenuse and one of the angles, we can write the trigonometric ratio:

$\begin{gathered} \cos(32\degree)=(Adjacent)/(Hypotenuse)=(x)/(14) \\ x=14*\cos(32\degree) \\ x\approx14*0.848 \\ x\approx11.9 \end{gathered}$

Answer: x = 11.9
