Which is the best approximation for the measure of angle ABC? 27.7°
31.7°
58.3°
62.3°

58.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

Missing Information:

In this question the diagram is missing Following are the attachment of diagram of the given question.

As we seen that the vertex c is making the right angle i,e 90°  also there is an acute angle the Hypotenuse: 20 cm and the perpendicular is 10.5 cm

Now we have find the best approximation of the angle ABC used the cosx  trigonometric function.

Putting the value of perpendicular and hypotenuse in the previous formula we get

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
