Answer:

45 degrees

Explanation:

Since Sin(90-x) = Cos(x), we can find that the angle at which 90-x=x is 45 degrees. This corresponds to
(\pi )/(4) radians

Answer:

∠45°

Explanation:

When looking at a unit circle, the only acute angle (an angle between

0° and 90°) that consists of an equal sine and cosine is 45°. This is because:


sin 45 = (√(2) )/(2)


cos45 = (√(2) )/(2)

45° is the only acute angle that contains an equal sine and cosine.
