In this diagram we are given the hypotenuse (39) and the side adjacent to the angle x. The cosine function relates the hypotenuse and adjacent side as follows:
cos x = 28/39
Using the inverse cosine function on a calculator, we get x = 0.7699 radian, which converts to degrees if we multiply this result by 180/π:
Angle x, in degrees, is 44.1 degrees, which is to the nearest tenth.
