Sin and cosine of the acute angle are complementary trigonometric functions. This means that between these trigonometric functions, the rule of complementary acute angles applies: sin64° = cos(90°-64°) = cos26°
So, if we have given cos64° = cosx and we want to determine the value of the acute angle x, given the complementarity of the angles to 90 degrees, the required value of the angle x is 26°.
The answer is: x = 26°
