Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Set Up Equation</u>
<em>The 2 angles must add up to 90°.</em>
(8m + 4)° + 38° = 90°
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 8m + 42 = 90
- Isolate <em>m</em> term: 8m = 48
- Isolate <em>m</em>: m = 6
Using a calculator: cos 70 deg = 0.342. Note: it sounds as tho' you were given several answer options. Where are they?
