Find the value of x rounded to the nearest degree

Answer:
b 44 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
cos x = adjacent side / hypotenuse
cos x = 15/21
cos x = 5/7
Take the inverse cos of each side
cos ^-1 (cos (x) )= cos ^-1 (5/7)
x =44.4153086
To the nearest degree
x = 44 degrees
Answer:
The correct answer is option(b). 44°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure we can see a right angled triangle with one angle is x° and two sides are given.
To find the value of x
From the given figure we get the adjacent side of angle is given
Therefore we can write,
Cos x = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse
= 15/21
= 0.7142
x = Cos ⁻¹ (0.7142)
= 44°
Therefore the value of x = 44°
The correct answer is option(b). 44°
