Answer:

The value of x is 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right angle triangle, if m and n are the two acute angles on it, then

  • m + n = 90°
  • sin(m) = cos(n)
  • cos(m) = sin(n)

That means if sin(m) = cos(n), then m + n = 90°

Let us use these facts to solve the question

∵ sin(21°) = 0.358

∵ cos(x°) = 0.358

→ That means sin(21°) = cos(x°)

sin(21°) = cos(x°)

→ By using the facts above

21 + x = 90°

→ Subtract 21 from both sides

∵ 21 - 21 + x = 90 - 21

x = 69°

The value of x is 69°
