we are given


sin(\theta)=cos(73)

we have to find theta

so, firstly we can write sin in terms of cos


sin(\theta)=cos(90-\theta)

now, we can set it equal


cos(90-\theta)=cos(73)

Since, both sides are cos

so, we can set angles equal


90-\theta=73

now, we can solve for theta

we get


\theta=17..............Answer
