You got it right because you solved it correctly
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
b = the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle
a = the adjacent side.
R is being defined by the cosine
cos(R) = adjacent / hypotenuse
adjacent = 16* sqrt(2)
hypotenuse = 32*sqrt(2)
Cos(R) = 16*sqrt(2) / 32*sqrt(2) sqrt(2) cancels.
cos(R) = 1/2
R = cos-1(1/2)
R = 60 degrees.
Simplifying this, we get:
(x+4)(x-4) = 0
Now, to get 0, we can replace x for one of these things to make 0, so:
x can either be 4, or -4
The second one because since n is not negative then nothing will be in the denominator
