Question

Good morning can somebody help me out the answer choice are

A.56.4 degrees
B.40.0 degrees
C. 13.3 degrees
D. 33.6 degrees

Answer 1

Option D

Explanation:

Measure of adjacent side = 20

Measure of Hypotenuse = 24

Since, measures of adjacent side and Hypotenuse have been given in the question, cosine ratio will be applied to find the measure of angle x.

cos(x) =
`\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}`

cos(x) =
`(20)/(24)`

x =
`\text{cos}^(-1)(0.833)`

= 33.55°

≈ 33.6°

Option D is the answer.
