Find x. Round to the nearest tenth
A: 5.0
B: 7.8
C: 3.9
D: 4.6

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos40° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{6}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 6 )
6 × cos40° = x , then
x ≈ 4.6 ( to 1 dec. place ) → D
