Answer:

↓ Look below ↓

Explanation:

You are given the adjacent side and need to find the hypotenuse. You can use cos to figure this out.


cos33 = (7)/(x)

→To get rid of the x in the denominator, multiply everything by x:


x(cos33 = (7)/(x))


xcos33 = 7

→Divide both sides by cos33:

x = 8.346

→If it is round to nearest tenth:

x = 8.3

→If it is round to nearest hundredth:

x = 8.35

Answer:

x =8.34654305

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 33 = 7/x

Switching places with the x and the 33

x = 7/ cos 33

x =8.34654305
