Respuesta :

Use the inverse cosine button on your calculator.  Make sure it's in radians. The answer is 1.28

Answer:  The correct option is (B) 1.28 radians.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given that for an angle A :

[tex]\cos A=0.29.[/tex]

We are to find the measure of angle A in radians.

We know that the relation between degree and radians is given by

[tex]80^\circ=\pi~\textup{radians}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 180^\circ=\dfrac{22}{7}~\textup{radians}.[/tex]

Now, we have

[tex]\cos A=0.29\\\\\Rightarrow A=\cos^{-1}(0.29)\\\\\\\Rightarrow A=73.14^\circ.[/tex]

Again,

[tex]180^\circ=\dfrac{22}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow 1^\circ=\dfrac{22}{7\times180}\\\\\Rightarrow 73.14^\circ=\dfrac{22}{1260}\times73.14=1.277=1.28~\textup{radians}.[/tex]

Thus, the measure of angle A in radians is 1.28 radians.

Option (B) is CORRECT.
