Question

Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos( \theta) = \frac{a}{h} \\ \cos(59) = \frac{x}{28} \\ 0.5 \times 28 = x \\ 14 = x$

Answer 2

We know

$\boxed{\sf cos\theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto cos59=\dfrac{x}{28}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.5=\dfrac{x}{28}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=28\times 0.5$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x\approx 14$
