Answer 1

x = 58.0

Explanation:

We can use the inverse of cos to solve for x once you set up the equation

`cosx = (9)/(17)`

This is as 9 is the adjacent side and 17 is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We can then solve for x using the inverse of cos

`x= cos^(-1) ((9)/(17) )`

When plugged into a calculator you get

x= 58.03 degrees

this rounds to 58.0 degrees
