Answer 1

To solve for x, first multiply both sides of the equation by 28:

cos(62) = x/28
cos(62) * 28 = x
28 * cos(62) = x

Using a calculator to find the cosine of 62 degrees:

cos(62) ≈ 0.4663

Now, plug in the value of cos(62) into the equation:

x = 28 * 0.4663
x ≈ 13.0736

Therefore, x is approximately equal to 13.07. None of the provided responses match this value.
