Find X In The Triangle Below Round Your Answer To The Nearest Tenth class=

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

  • x is opposite the 90 degree angle. It is the hypotenuse.
  • 13 makes up the 57 degree angle. It is the side adjacent.
  • The adjacent side and the hypotenuse define the cos(theta).

Formula

cos(theta) = adjacent side / hypotenuse

Givens

Theta = 57 degrees

Hypotenuse = x

Side adjacent = 13

Solution

  • Cos(57) = 13 / x         Multiply both sides by x
  • x*cos(57) = 13           Divide by cos(theta)
  • x = 13/cos(57)
  • x = 13 / cos(57)
  • cos(57) = 0.5446
  • x = 13/ 0.5446
  • x = 23.87
