Question

$#6 find the value if x. round answer to nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle is 24

With m∠x as the reference angle,

The adjacent side of the right angle triangle is 17

The unknown side represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine m∠x, we would apply

the cosine trigonometric ratio.

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos x = 17/24= 0.708

x = Cos^-1(0.708)

x = 55.0° to the nearest tenth.
