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

Answer:
x ≈ 54.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos x = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{50}{86}[/tex] , then
x = [tex]cos^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{50}{86}[/tex] ) ≈ 54.5° ( to the nearest tenth )
