Answer:

cos(x) = 0.6

Explanation:

First, we need to find UQ.

UQ = UP·cos(y°) = UP·√(1 -sin²(y°)) = (26 cm)√(1 -25/169) = (26 cm)(12/13)

UQ = 24 cm

Then TQ is ...

TQ = 1/3UQ = 1/3(24 cm) = 8 cm

And cos(x°) is ...

cos(x°) = √(1 -sin²(x)) = √(1 -64/100)

cos(x°) = 6/10 = 3/5

cos(x°) = 3/5 = 0.6
