Question

In the following figure, the value of x is____

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 8.3 ( to the nearest tenth )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos41° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{BC}{AB}$ = $\frac{x}{11}$

Multiply both sides by 11

11 × cos41° = x, thus

x ≈ 8.3
