Answer:

You need to use sohcahtoa to find your answer.

first you gotta identify what sides of the triangle you have.

You're missing the hypotenuse, and you have the value of the adjacent.

since you have the adjacent and need the hypotenuse, you're going to use cosine to find x

cos(65) = 16/x

x = 37.859

Answer:

x = 37.85

this is a standard "trig" question

it requires two pieces  of insight.

First that a triangle has 180° interior angles.

from that you can determine that the third angle is 25° because

90 + 65 + β = 180

the red symbol lets you know that it is 90°

the second think that will help is SOHCAHTOA

that is if you have a "right triangle" (one with a 90° angle)

in this problem (in your mind rotate the triangle so the 65° is at the bottom left and the two long sides are pointing up

in this case you have the 16 on the bottom (adjacent to the angle) and

the x is on the hypotenuse...

you have the A& H that is COS

thus you have cos(65) = [tex]\frac{16}{x}[/tex]

x = 37.85
