First, you will need to find the percentage of shots made for each person, or you can find the least common denominator. This is because it makes it easier to see how the numbers compare to each other in size. You can find the percentage of shots made by looking at how many shots a person made and dividing it by the total shots that person made, which us the denominator. Then, you would take the decimal and move it two places to the right. Once you find the percentages of all three people, you can then compare the percentages to each other. In this case, the higher the percentage, the better the shooter that person is.

Which value of x solves the equation cos x° = sin (20° + x°), where 0 < x < 90? A. 30° B. 35° C. 40° D. 45° E. 55°
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Option B (35°).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, the trigonometric identity sin x = cos (90-x) is required. It can also be written as cos x = sin (90-x). It can be seen that this identity holds when the two angles are complementary i.e. they sum up to 90 degrees. Therefore, the answer can be determined by substituting all the options one by one in the identity cos x = sin (20+x). If x=30 degrees, then x+20=50 degrees. 30 and 50 are not complementary. If x=35 degrees, then x+20=55 degrees. 35 and 55 are complementary since their sum is 90 degrees. Therefore, B is the correct choice!!!
