-------------
Make right triangle with sides of y = 3 and x = 7
r = sqrt(3^2 + 7^2) = sqrt(58)
cos(90-x) = sin(x) = y/r = 3/sqrt(58)

.

Notice that without using tables or a calculator, we can find an exact EXPRESSION for cos(90°-x), ONLY,
but not its value itself.

I am telling it to explain you that the formulation of the problem is incorrect and should be changed.
