Answer:
11.47
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A right triangle
To do : Solve for x
Solution,
[tex]cos \: 55 = \frac{x}{20} [/tex] ( by definition of cos function, adjacent / hypotenuse )
[tex]0.5736 = \frac{x}{20} [/tex]
multiply both sides of the equation by 20
[tex](0.5736) \times 20 = x[/tex]
Calculate the product
[tex]11.471 = x[/tex]
Swipe both sides of the equation
[tex]x = 11.471[/tex]
Round answer to nearest hundredth
[tex]x = 11.47[/tex]
Hope this helps...
Best regards!!
