If cos \(\theta\) = x and sin 60o = x + 0.5 0

If cos \(\theta\) = x and sin 60o = x + 0.5 0o < \(\theta\) < 90o, find, correct to the nearest degree, the value of \(\theta\)

A.

32o

B.

40o

C.

60o

D.

69o

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is D

sin 60o = x + 0.5 0o(given)

0.8660 = x + 0.5

0.8660 - 0.5 = x

x = 0.3660

cos\(\theta\) = x(given)

cos\(\theta\) = 0.3660

Hence, \(\theta\) = cos-1(0.3660)

= 68.53o

= 69o (nearest degree)
