Answer:

(A) [tex]x=7.2 ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A triangle whose base angle is 44° and hypotenuse is 10ft.

To find: The value of x.

solution: Using the trigonometry, we have

[tex]\frac{x}{10}=cos44^{{\circ}}[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=10{\times}cos44^{{\circ}}[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=10{\times}0.72[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=7.2 ft[/tex]

Thus,the value of [tex]x=7.2 ft[/tex]

Answer: A. 7.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A right triangle with hypotenuse 10 ft and base angle [tex]44^{\circ}[/tex]

By using Trigonometry, we have

[tex]\cos (44^{\circ})=\frac{\text{side adjacent to }44^{\circ}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos (44^{\circ})=\frac{x}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow0.71933980033=\frac{x}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10\times0.71933980033=7.1933980033\approx7.2\ ft.[/tex]

Hence, the value of x = 7.2 ft.
