Help please i don't understand!

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) =

x = 37.85
