<PRE><B>Question 174665</B>
If sin(2theta + 18) = cos(5theta - 12), which of the follwoing pairs of angles are represented in this equation?
----------------------------
Note; if sin(A) = cos(B), A and B are complementary: A+B = 90
----------------------------
Your Promlem:
2theta + 18 + 5theta-12 = 90
7theta + 6 = 90
7theta = 84
theta = 12 degrees
-------
2theta+18 = 24+18 = 42 (one of the angles)
5theta-12 = 5*12 -12 = 48 (the other angle)
