A right triangle is shown with an angle that measures 24 degrees. The leg adjacent to the 24 degree angle is 11. The hypotenuse is x.

Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth. The diagram is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

well, you know that
11/x = cos24°
now find x

Answer 2

oobleck how do i find x though?

Answer 3

Really? Don't forget your Algebra I now that your taking trig!
11/x = cos24°
x/11 = 1/cos24°
x = 11/cos24°

Answer 4

This didn't answer the question

Answer 5

x=12.04
set it up like this

Cos(24)11/x then switch x and cos because you want to find x

x=11/cos 24
x=12.04

Answer 6
