Find the value of x. Round the length to the nearest tenth.

a. 10.6ft

b. 7.6ft

c. 15.3ft

d. 7.9ft

x = 7.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

Angle - 44

Hypotenuse - 11 ft

adjacent side - x

having adjacent and hypotenuse use Cosine to solve the problem from

S-oh C-ah T-oa

cos (angle) = adjacent / hypotenuse

**Make sure your calculator is in degree mode**

cos 44 = x/11

if you cross multiply, you get

11 cos 44 = x

or to solve for x you would multiply both sides by 11 and get

11 cos 44 = x

x = 7.9
