Answer:
x = 7.3
Step-by-step explanation:
When solving for missing sides using angles, use trig functions.
We have the angle 63° to use.
We are given the hypotenuse of the triangle, as well as the side adjacent to the angle, so we can use the cos function.
Cos T = (adjacent side)/(hypotenuse)
Here we know 'T' and the hypotenuse, so plug them in and solve
Cos 63° = x/16
(16)Cos 63° = x (multiply both sides by 16 to isolate 'x')
7.263847996 = x (use your calculator to solve the left side)
7.3 = x (rounded to the nearest 10th)
