Answer:

x = 2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine or cosine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

cos45° = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex] , then

cos45° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

2x = 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
