Question

Instructions: Find the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x we use cosine

cos ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

From the question

The hypotenuse is x

The adjacent is 18

So we have

cos 69 = 18/x

x cos 69 = 18

Divide both sides by cos 69

x = 18/cos 69

x = 50.2

x = 50° to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
