cos(62)=4/x

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth.

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides by x:

x * cos(62) = 4

To isolate x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by cos(62):

x = 4 / cos(62)

Using a calculator, we can find that cos(62) is approximately 0.46630765815.

x = 4 / 0.46630765815 ≈ 8.58

Rounding to the nearest tenth, x ≈ 8.6
