Question

Instructions: Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest

degree.
26
?
32
? =

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use trig functions

cos theta = adj side / hyp

cos ? = 26/32

Taking the inverse cos of each side

cos^-1(cos ?) = cos^-1( 26/32)

? = 35.65908

To the nearest degree

? = 36
