Answer:

109.5; B

Explanation:

From your identity,

CosA = adjacent/ hypothenus

A represent an arbitrary angle between the sides in question.

In the question above, A=64

Hypothenus is the longest side and adjacent is the side just below the angle .

In the above case,

Hypothenus= X

adjacent =48

This means;

Cos64 = 48 /X

X = 48 / cos64; [ from cross multiplication and diving through by cos64]

X = 48 /0.4383 [ cos64 in radian = 0.4383]

= 109.51

= 109.5 to the nearest tenth.

Note( do your calculation of angle in radian or else, you won't get the answer)
