Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 37.74
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Right triangle
hypotenuse = c = 45
angle = 33°
adjacent 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 = 45 x cos 33
-Simplification
Adjacent side = 45 x 0.839
-Result
Adjacent side = x = 37.74
