Answer 1

Answer:

x = 58.0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the inverse of cos to solve for x once you set up the equation

$cosx = \frac{9}{17}$

This is as 9 is the adjacent side and 17 is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We can then solve for x using the inverse of cos

$x= cos^{-1} (\frac{9}{17} )$

When plugged into a calculator you get

x= 58.03 degrees

this rounds to 58.0 degrees
