Answer:

  x ≈ 1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse and the side adjacent to the angle are marked, so the relevant trig relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(41°) = 0.8/x . . . . . . given values filled into the relation

  x = 0.8/cos(41°) . . . . . solve for x

  x ≈ 1.0600104 ≈ 1.1 . . . . rounded to tenths

  x = 1.1

Additional comment

This cosine relation is one of three relations covered by the mnemonic SOH CAH TOA. It also reminds you ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
