Respuesta :

you have to use trig so x equal to 55 x cos(49=36.08

Answer:

[tex]x=36.08[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: From the given triangle DEF, ∠E=90°, DF=55 and DE=x.

To find: The value of x.

Solution:

From the given triangle DEF, applying the trigonometry, we have

[tex]\frac{x}{55}=cos49^{\circ}[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=55(cos49^{\circ})[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=55(0.656)[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=36.08[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x will be 36.08.
