Answer:
x ≈ 95.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationship between trig functions and sides of a right triangle. Here, the hypotenuse of the triangle and the side adjacent to the given angle are marked, so the relationship of choice is ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
__
Using the values shown, we have ...
cos(15°) = x/99
Solving for x gives ...
x = 99·cos(15°) ≈ 95.6
The length of the side marked x is about 95.6 units.
