You are trying to find the side between the right angle and the degree (This is known as the adjacent)
You are given degree 42
You also given the longest side of 19 (This is known as the hypothenuse)
Cosine: adjacent/hypothenuse
Cos42 = x/19
0.7431448255 = x/19
x = 19 * 0.7431448255
x = 14.11975168, round to tenth
Solution: x = 14.1
