Question

Progress Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos41° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{0.8}{x}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

x × cos41° = 0.8 ( divide both sides by cos41° )

x = $\frac{0.8}{cos41}$ ≈ 1.1 ( to the nearest tenth )
