Answer:
x ≈ 1.1
Step-by-step explanation:
using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos41° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.8}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )
x × cos41° = 0.8 ( divide both sides by cos41° )
x = [tex]\frac{0.8}{cos41}[/tex] ≈ 1.1 ( to the nearest tenth )
