Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

cosθ = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos(26) = 18 / x

x= 18 / cos(26)

x= 27.82418 ≈ 20 (to nearest tenth)

Answer:

x ≈ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos26° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{18}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )

x × cos26° = 18 ( divide both sides by cos26° )

x = [tex]\frac{18}{cos26}[/tex] ≈ 20.0 ( to the nearest tenth )
