Question

To the nearest hundred what is the value of X

Answer 1

ANSWER

$x = 41.51$

EXPLANATION

The given triangle has a right angle.

We were given an acute angle that measures 41°

The hypotenuse of the given right triangle is 55.

Since x is adjacent to the given angle and we also know the hypotenuse, we use the cosine ratio to find x.

$\cos(41 \degree) = \frac{x}{55}$

Therefore

$x = 55 \cos(41 \degree)$

$x = 41.509$

We round to the nearest hundredth to obtain,

$x = 41.51$

Answer 2

Answer:

41.51

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the value of x using the trigonometry identify.

Cos (41) = x/55

x = 55cos (41)

x = 41.51
