Answer:
x = 58.0
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the inverse of cos to solve for x once you set up the equation
[tex]cosx = \frac{9}{17}[/tex]
This is as 9 is the adjacent side and 17 is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
We can then solve for x using the inverse of cos
[tex]x= cos^{-1} (\frac{9}{17} )[/tex]
When plugged into a calculator you get
x= 58.03 degrees
this rounds to 58.0 degrees
