Answer:

5.4

Explanation:

ABC is a right angle triangle.

Therefore,


cos \: (75) = (ab)/(ac)

Plug the values


cos \: (75) = (x)/(21)

Apply cross product property


x = 21 * cos(75)

Calculate


x = 5.435

After rounding to the nearest tenth, the answer will be:


x = 5.4

Hope this helps...

Best regards!!
