Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.

Answer:
x = 40°
Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle = x°
Adjacent side length to reference angle = 7.2
Hypotenuse = 9.4
Apply trigonometric function CAH, which is:
Cos x = Adj/Hyp
Substitute
Cos x = 7.2/9.4
Cos x = 0.76596
[tex] x = cos^{-1}(0.76596) [/tex]
x = 40° (nearest tenth)
