Hi there!

We can find the values of x using right triangle trig.

Recall: SOHCAHTOA

sin = O/H (Opposite / Hypotenuse)

cos = A/H (Adjacent / Hypotenuse)

tan = O/A (Opposite / Adjacent)

Thus:

6. A = 14, H = 15

cos x = 14/15

cos⁻¹ (14/15) = x

x = 21.04° ≈ 21°

7. O = 19, A = 23

tan x = 19/23

tan⁻¹(19/23) = x

x = 39.56° ≈ 40°

8. A = 9, H = 17

cos x = 9/17

cos⁻¹(9/17) = x

x = 58.03 ≈ 58°

9. O = 43, H = 45

sin x = 43/45

sin⁻¹(43/45) = x

x = 72.85° ≈ 73°
