Answer:
x ≈ 7.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos27° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{KL}{KM}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6.3}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )
x × cos27° = 6.3 ( divide both sides by cos27° )
x = [tex]\frac{6.3}{cos27}[/tex] ≈ 7.1 ( to the nearest tenth )
