Answer: x=11.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the angle of 55 degrees, you know that the adjacent side is "x" and the length of the hypotenuse is 20.

Therefore, you need to remember the following identity:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

Then, knowing that:

\alpha=55\°\\adjacent=x\\hypotenuse=20

 You need to substitute these values intocos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}:

 cos(55\°)=\frac{x}{20}

Now, you can solve for "x":

20*cos(55\°)=x\\x=11.471

Rounded to the nearest hundreth:

x=11.47
