In ΔBCD, the measure of ∠D=90°, the measure of ∠B=22°, and DB = 44 feet. Find the length of BC to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer: 47.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
since this is a right triangle, you can use trig to solve for x:
cos 22° = [tex]\frac{44}{x}[/tex] (cos = adjacent/hypotenuse)
x * cos 22° = 44
x = [tex]\frac{44}{cos 22}[/tex] (plug into calc)
x = 47.5 ft
