Question

Find the value of x using SohCahToa.

Answer 1

`x=6.55\ units`

Explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle of the figure

The cosine of the angle of 35 degrees is equal to divide the adjacent side to the angle of 35 degrees by the hypotenuse

so

`cos(35^o)=(x)/(8)` -----> by CAH

solve for x

`x=(8)cos(35^o)`

`x=6.55\ units`
