Question

Which of the following expressions is equal to the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is $119\cos(52)$. Option 1 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the triangle is a right angle triangle.The length of the base is x and the length of hypotenuse is 119. The measure of acute angle is 52 degree.

$\cos\theta =\frac{base}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos(52) =\frac{x}{119}$

Multiply both sides by 119

$\cos(52)\times 119=\frac{x}{119}\times 119$

$119\cos(52) =x$

Therefore the value of x is $119\cos(52)$. Option 1 is correct.

Answer 2

The answer is 119(cos52)
