Given:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle.

One of the angle is 64° and the length of one of the leg is x.

The length of the hypotenuse is 28.

We need to determine the value of x.

Value of x:

The value of x can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;

[tex]cos \ \theta=\frac{adj}{hyp}[/tex]

where [tex]\theta= 64[/tex], adj = x and hyp = 28

Substituting the values, we get;

[tex]cos\ 64=\frac{x}{28}[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 28, we have;

[tex]cos \ 64 \times 28=x[/tex]

 [tex]0.438\times 28=x[/tex]

       [tex]12.264=x[/tex]

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth, we get;

[tex]12.26=x[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is 12.26
