Answer:

  x ≈ 263.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked sides are the hypotenuse and the side adjacent to the given angle. The relevant trig relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(70°) = 90/x . . . . use given values

  x = 90/cos(70°) . . . . multiply by x/cos(70°)

  x ≈ 263.1

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the primary trig relations:

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
