X=

Answer 1

for this equasion you should be using SIN not COSIN

Explanation:

Answer 2

`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!
