Answer:

x = 20 degrees.

Explanation:

cos40∘=sin(x+30∘)​

sin (x + 30) = 0.766

x + 30 = arcsin 0.766 = 50

x = 50 - 30 = 20.

Answer:

x = 20

Explanation:

cos(angle) = sin(complement of angle) , then

cos40 = sin(90 - 40) = sin50 , then

sin(x + 30) = sin50 , that is

x + 30 = 50 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

x = 20
