A right triangle has sides measuring 10, 24, and 26 cm. What is the measure of x to the nearest degree?
A 23 C 35
B 28 D 67

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we will analyze two cases

Part 1)

First case

The angle x is the angle C

so

In the right triangle ABC

---> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values

using a calculator

therefore

The measure of angle x is 67 degrees

Part 2)

Second case

The angle x is the angle A

so

In the right triangle ABC

---> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values

using a calculator

therefore

The measure of angle x is 23 degrees
