Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
For this triangle, to find x, we will use the cosine trigonometric function.
cosine functions look like this:

(The weird looking symbol is called theta, and represents an angle measurement)
Plug in the values into the equation.
cos(42) = 
Multiply both sides by 15.
15(cos(42)) = x
