If sinx is approximately 0.2588, what is the measurement of x to the nearest degree? Approximately, what is the cosine of the angle that is complementary to x?

Sin(x) = .2588     Given

ARCSin (x) = x = ARCSin(.2588)        using the calculator   = 14.9988 degrees  ( ~ 15 degrees)   

COMPLIMENTARY angle is the angle which added to 'x' will equal 90      so the COMPLIMENTARY Angle is 75 degrees

Using the calculator again    cos (75) = .2588   The same as the complimentary angle's SIN !!!
