mathslover (mathslover):

Use \(\cos \theta = \cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\) So, \(\cos 27 = \cfrac{34}{x}\)

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

is my answer correct ?

mathslover (mathslover):

Unfortunately not! 30.29 is not the correct answer. If you simplify the above equation further : \(x = \cfrac{34}{\cos 27}\) \(\cos 27\) = 0.8910

mathslover (mathslover):

So, x = \(\cfrac{34}{0.8910}\)

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

the answer is C..

mathslover (mathslover):

Yeah, 38.16 is correct!
