Given a right angle triangle

The hypotenuse of the triangle = x

The adjacent side to the angle 50 = 6

We will find x using the cosine function as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos 50=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ \cos 50=\frac{6}{x} \\ \\ x=\frac{6}{\cos 50}=9.334 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest tenth

So, the answer will be x = 9.3
