To find the value of x, we can use the trigonometric ratio cosine since we have the adjacent side and the hypotenuse.
cos(22°) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(22°) = x/11
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 11:
11 * cos(22°) = x
x ≈ 10.1
Therefore, the value of x is approximately 10.1 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
