Answer:
x = 3.4
Step-by-step explanation:
recall that for a right angle with an internal angle θ,
cos θ = adjacent length / hypotenuse
in our case,
θ = 55 deg
adjacent length = x units
hypotenuse = 6 units
substitute these into the formula above
cos θ = adjacent length / hypotenuse
cos 55 = x / 6 (multiply both sides by 6)
x = 6 cos 55 (use calculator)
x = 3.4415
x = 3.4 (rounded to nearest tenth)
