Question

What is the value of x?

sin(x+22)°=cos(2x−7)°

Answer 1

x is 25

Explanation:

sin(x+22)° = cos(2x-7)°

since,

sin theta = cos(90 - theta)

we can substitute that in (let theta = x + 22)

sin(x + 22) = cos(90 - (x+22))

we also know

sin(x+22) = cos(2x-7)

thus cos(90 - (x+22)) = cos(2x-7)

cos(90 - (x +22)) = cos(2x-7)

cos(90 - x -22) = cos(2x - 7)

cos(68 - x) = cos(2x - 7)

68 - x = 2x - 7

68 + 7 = 2x + x

75 = 3x

x = 75/3

x = 25
