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
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: 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)
