Answer:
x ≈ 13.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationships between trig functions and sides of a right triangle.
__
The figure shows a marked angle (33°), the side adjacent (x), and the hypotenuse (16). The relevant trig relation is ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
cos(33°) = x/16 . . . . . . substitute given values
x = 16·cos(33°) . . . . . multiply by 16
x ≈ 13.419 . . . . . . . . evaluate
The value of x is approximately 13.4.
