Answer:
x = 33 degrees
Explanation:
To get the value of x, we use the appropriate trigonometric ratio
The side that faces the right angle is the hypotenuse and we have this measure as 25
The side that measures 21 is adjacent to the angle x
So we have to use the trigonometric ratio that connects the hypotenuse and the adjacent
The trigonometric ratio that does this is the cosine
so;
cosine is the ratio of the adjacent to the hypotenuse
So therefore;
cos x = 21/25
x = arc•cos (21/25)
x = 33 degrees
