Answer:


x=8

Explanation:

Use the cosine ratio:


cosine=(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)

Plug in values


cos37=(x)/(10)

Isolate the variable: multiply 10 on both sides


10*(cos37)=10*((x)/(10) )


10*cos37=x\\x=10*cos37

Enter into calculator


x=7.98

Round to the nearest tenth


x=8.0

Done. If you have questions, let me know!
