Answer: 83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find theta, you must take the arccosine of both sides. The arccosine eliminates the cosine, and extracts the argument. Therefore:

[tex]cos(x)=\frac{2}{16} =\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

[tex]arccos(cos(x))=arccos(\frac{1}{8} )=x[/tex]

Use a calculator the find the arccosine of 1/8. Its nearly impossible to find the exact answer without one:

[tex]x=arccos(\frac{1}{8} )[/tex]

[tex]x=83[/tex]
