Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Sin (5x – 28)o = cos (3x - 50)o
Since by the trigonometry relation
Sin(5x – 28)o = cos[90 – (5x – 28)]o
Hence cos(3x – 50)o = cos[90 – (5x – 28)]o
3x – 50 = 90 - (5x-28)
3x – 50 = 90 – 5x + 28
3x + 5x = 90 + 28 + 50
8x = 168
\(x = \frac{168}{8}=21^{\circ}\)
Sin (5x – 28)o = cos (3x - 50)o
Since by the trigonometry relation
Sin(5x – 28)o = cos[90 – (5x – 28)]o
Hence cos(3x – 50)o = cos[90 – (5x – 28)]o
3x – 50 = 90 - (5x-28)
3x – 50 = 90 – 5x + 28
3x + 5x = 90 + 28 + 50
8x = 168
\(x = \frac{168}{8}=21^{\circ}\)
