Question

Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest degree.

A. 36
B. 30
C. 54
D. 60

Answer 1

54 degrees

Explanation:

This is trigonometry. So we are given the adjacent leg and hypotenuse. So we can use cosine(cah from soh cah toa)

We will have to use the inverse of the trig ratios.

Remember!

cos^-1 is not 1/cos(that is sec)

cos^-1(27/46)

acos(27/46)

54.0586701 and so on

Round to nearest degree 54
