Find the value of x in the given right triangle

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find x we use cosine
cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse
From the picture
x is the adjacent
12 is the hypotenuse
∅ = 62°
So we have
[tex] \cos(62) = \frac{x}{12} \\ x = 12 \cos(62) \\ x = 5.633[/tex]
The final answer is
6.00 to the nearest tenth.
Hope this helps you
Answer:
5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
NOT 6.
[tex]cos62=\frac{x}{12}[/tex]
[tex]12cos(62)=x[/tex]
[tex]12cos(62)[/tex]
^^ for the last part i couldn't add the multiplication symbol so ill just type it out
12 · cos(62)
and so, that would equal 5.63365.... but since we have to round it to the nearest 10ths it will be 5.6 :)
