Answer: 0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

CAH: cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cosine of angle w = 84/85 = 0.98823 ≈ 0.99

Angle Y is 90 degrees, meaning it's a right triangle. Therefore angle W is the top/tip of a triangle, while X is the angle next to Y. If you plug in the information afterwards and follow the trigonometry rule (SOH CAH TOA) you will find your answer.
