Answer:

The value of
\theta is, 32 degree.

Explanation:

Given the equation:


\sin \theta = \cos 58^(\circ)

We have to find the value of
\theta

Using the rule:


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

then;


\cos (90-\theta) = \cos 58^(\circ)

Comparing both sides we have;


90^(\circ)-\theta = 58^(\circ)

Subtract 90 from both sides we have;


-\theta = -32^(\circ)

Simplify:


\theta = 32^(\circ)

Therefore, the value of
\theta is, 32 degree.
