According to the Pythagorean theorem the square of the hypotenuse (c) is the sum of the squares of the legs (a and b):
c² = a² + b²
We have:
a = 3x
b = 15
c = 3x + 3
Now, let's replace these parameters:
c² = a² + b²
(3x + 3)² = (3x)² + 15²
(3x)² + 2 * 3x * 3 + 3² = 9x² + 225
9x² + 18x + 9 = 9x² + 225
Rearrange:
9x² - 9x² + 18x = 225 - 9
18x = 216
x = 216 / 18 = 12
Cos(theta)=a/h
Cos(theta)=12/13
Theta=cos^-1(12/13)
Theta=22.62 degrees
