If sin x = cos 50o, then x equals

Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 1993 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

If sin x = cos 50o, then x equals
Answer Details
Since sin x = cos 90 - x for any angle x, we can write: sin x = cos (90 - x) Given sin x = cos 50°, we can substitute to get: cos (90 - x) = cos 50° Taking the inverse cosine of both sides, we get: 90 - x = 50° Solving for x, we get: x = 40° Therefore, the answer is option A: 40°.
