Answer 1

Answer:

cos 36.87° = x ÷ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Height of the painting is 30 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rectangular frame of a painting is in the shape of ABCD.

Measure of frame's diagonal AC is 50 inches and it forms an angle of 36.87° angle with the bottom of the frame BC.

Now we have to determine the height of the painting.

Sin(36.87)° = $\frac{AB}{AC}$

0.60 = $\frac{x}{50}$

x = 50×0.6

x = 30 inches

Therefore, height of the painting is 30 inches.
