Answer:

11.47

Explanation:

Given : A right triangle

To do : Solve for x

Solution,


cos \: 55 = (x)/(20) ( by definition of cos function, adjacent / hypotenuse )


0.5736 = (x)/(20)

multiply both sides of the equation by 20


(0.5736) * 20 = x

Calculate the product


11.471 = x

Swipe both sides of the equation


x = 11.471

Round answer to nearest hundredth


x = 11.47

Hope this helps...

Best regards!!
