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:

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

Answer:

$\cos( \theta) = \frac{5}{8} \\ {8}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {opp}^{2} \\ {opp}^{2} = 64 - 25 = 39 \\ opp = \sqrt{39} \\ \sin(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{39}}{8} \\ \tan(\theta) = \frac{ \sqrt{39} }{5} \\ \cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} = \frac{1}{\frac{ \sqrt{39} }{5}} \\ \cot(\theta) = \frac{5}{ \sqrt{39} } \\ \csc( \theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)} = \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{39}}{8}} \\ \csc( \theta) = \frac{8}{ \sqrt{39} } \\ \sec( \theta) = \frac{1}{\cos( \theta) } = \frac{1}{ \frac{5}{8} } \\ \sec( \theta) = \frac{8}{5}$
