Remember the rules of Sohcahtoa (Sine, cosine, tangent). For this problem we take the cosine of 38 because the labeled sides are the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse.
Cos(38)=79/x
Cosine of 38 is about 0.7880
0.7880=79/x
Next we multiply both sides by the denominator
(x) 0.7880=79 (x)
Then divide.
0.7880x= 79
0.7880 0.7880
X=100.25
Hope this helped :)
