Question

Find the value of x. Round to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

I think it’s 30 degrees but I’m not sure

Answer 2

The answer to your question is 32.64°

Explanation:

Data

hypotenuse = 19

adjacent side = 16

x = ?

Process

1.- To solve this problem use trigonometric functions.

The function that relates the adjacent side and the hypotenuse is cosine.

cos x =
`(adjacent side)/(hypotenuse)`

2.- Substitution

cos x =
`(16)/(19)`

3.- cos x = 0.842

4.- cos ⁻¹x = x = 32.64°
