To solve for $x$ in this right triangle, we can apply trigonometric ratios. Here's how we can approach it:

We are given:

• One angle: $38^\circ$
• One side: $47$ (adjacent to the angle)
• The hypotenuse: $203$

We need to find the length of side $x$, which is opposite the $38^\circ$ angle.

Step 1: Identify the relevant trigonometric ratio

Since we know the adjacent side (47) and the hypotenuse (203), we can use the cosine function to find $x$:

$\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$

Substitute in the known values:

$\cos(38^\circ) = \frac{47}{203}$

Now, we can solve for $x$. Let me calculate the result.
