Answer:
x ≈ 14.4
Step-by-step explanation:
using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos59° =
=
( multiply both sides by 28 )
28 × cos59° , then
x ≈ 14.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
1/2 divide by 3 or 1/[2(3)] which will be equal to 1/6

You can first use the fundamental trigonometric identity:
sin(x) ^2 + cos(x) ^2 = 1
=> cos(x) ^2 = 1 - sin(x) ^2
=> cos(x) ^2 = 1 - (-4/5)^2 = 1 - 16/25 = (25 - 16) / 25 = 9 /25
=> cos (x) = +/ - √ (9/25) = +/- 3/5
Now, analyze the sign.
In the fhird quadrant the cosine is negative, so the answer is cos(x) = - 3/5.
