well, you know that
11/x = cos24°
now find x
oobleck how do i find x though?
Really? Don't forget your Algebra I now that your taking trig!
11/x = cos24°
x/11 = 1/cos24°
x = 11/cos24°
This didn't answer the question
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
heheheha
