Question

Solve for x in the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (Please help)

Answer 1

x = 6.5

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use trig functions

cos theta = adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos 23 = 6/x

x cos 23 / 6

x = 6 /cos 23

x=6.51816

Rounding to the nearest tenth

x = 6.5
