Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 29.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
It is a right triangle
longest side = hypotenuse = 44
angle = Ф = 48°
side = x
Process
To solve this problem use trigonometric functions. The trigonometric function that relates the adjacent side and the hypotenuse is cosine.
cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse
-Solve for adjacent side
Adjacent side = hypotenuse x cosФ
-Substitution
Adjacent side = 44 x cos 48
-Simplification
Adjacent side = 44 x 0.6691
-Result
Adjacent side = 29.44 ≈ 29.4
