Answer:


AB=4.41

Explanation:

Use the cosine ratio,
cosine=(adjacent)/(hypotenuse) . Insert the values:


cos25=(4)/(x)

Isolate x. Multiply both sides by x:


x*(cos25)=x*((4)/(x))\\\\x*cos25=4

Divide both sides by cos 25:


(x*cos25)/(cos25)=(4)/(cos25)\\\\x=(4)/(cos25)

Insert into a calculator:


x=4.414

Round to the nearest hundredth:


x=4.41

Done.
