Answer:

? = 7.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adjacent side/ hypotenuse

cos 20 = 7 / ?

Multiply each side by ?

? cos 20 = 7

Divide each side by cos 20

? = 7/ cos 20

? =7.449244407

To the nearest hundredth

? = 7.45

Answer:

7.45 units

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\cos 20\degree = \frac{BC}{AB}\\\\0.939692620 = \frac{7}{AB}\\\\AB = \frac{7}{0.939692620}\\AB = 7.4492\\AB = 7.45 units[/tex]
