What is the value of X in the given triangle?
1 answer:
<h3>Answer: x = 65.4</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(x) = 5/12
x = arccos(5/12)
x = 65.375681647836 which is approximate
x = 65.4 after rounding to one decimal place
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. The arccosine function is the same as the inverse cosine function (shortened to ).

So to solve this problem, we can either do guess and check, or solve an equation.
Let's do the equation, since it will work for all problems, even when you're not given a list of possible answers.
So, to begin, let's define our unknown.
We can represent the number as "n"
So, 6 percent of "n" is equal to 270
To find a "percent" of a number, you need to multiply the number by the percentage.
So, 6 percent as a decimal is .06
This is because a percent is a fraction divided by 100 (6/100)
The number is 4,500
