Answer:
d-50
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the attached diagram, the only way to solve for this is the use of the trigonometric function. The trigonometric function to be used is the cosine function.
From the diagram, we are given
Hypotenuse = AB = 14
Adjacent = AC = 9
The measure of angle A to the nearest degree is calculated as:
cos θ = Adjacent / Hypothenuse
cos θ = 9/14
θ = cos -¹ (9/14) or arccos(9/14)
θ = 49.994799115°
To the nearest degree = 50°
Therefore,the measure of angle A to the nearest degree = 50°
