Find x!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We use trig to find the angle x. Since we know that the hypotenuse is 14 N and the adjacent angle is 9.9N we use cos to represent it. Use \[\cos^{14N/9.9N} = about 45 degrees\] You can check by using trig to figure out the upwards force and using the Pythagorean Theorem to check if your answer to correct.

CORRECTION: I meant inverse cosine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what was the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathstudent55 could you help i have the same problem^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 45 degrees dta255 said cos 14N/9.9N =about45degrees
