Question

Solve for x. round your answer to the nearest tenth if necassary.​

Answer 1

32.9°

Explanation:

You can see that relative to the angle that is x, we are given the side lengths that are adjacent and the hypotenuse. The trig function associated with this is cosine, and we get:

cos(x) = adj / hyp --> 21 / 25

To find x as the angle, we use the function arccosine,

x = arccosine(21/25)

x = 32.85988038°

And this rounds up to 32.9°

Answer 2

32.9 degrees

Explanation:

cos (x) = 21/25

cos^1 (21/25)

= 32.856 --> round to 32.9
