The give figure is of a triangle WXY right angled at X.
From the figure, WY=10 and
Using trigonometric property in the triangle,
[tex]\cos \theta=\frac{\text{adjacent side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \cos Find WX by solving the above equation.[tex]\begin{gathered} WX=10\times\cos 44^{\circ} \\ =7.2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, WX=7.2.
