Answer:

Explanation:

Triangle WXY is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

WX represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠W as the reference angle,

WY represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

XY represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine m∠W, we would apply

the cosine trigonometric ratio.

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos W = 5/7 = 0.7143

W = Cos^-1(0.7143)

W = 44.1° to the nearest tenth.
