Answer: x = 65.4
==================================================
Work Shown:
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(x) = 5/12
x = arccos(5/12)
x = 65.375681647836 which is approximate
x = 65.4 after rounding to one decimal place
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. The arccosine function is the same as the inverse cosine function (shortened to
).
