The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the logic presented in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Set up the equation We are given that: - \( \angle A = 6k - 8 \) - \( \angle B = 7k - 45 \) The condition provided is: \[ \frac{\sin \angle A}{\cos \angle B} = 1 \] This implies: \[ \sin \angle A = \cos \angle B \] ### Step 2: Use the trigonometric identity From the identity \( \sin x = \cos y \), we know that: \[ \sin x = \cos y \quad \text{if and only if} \quad x = 90^\circ - y \quad \text{or} \quad y = 90^\circ - x \] Thus, we can write: \[ 6k - 8 = 90 - (7k - 45) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Now, simplify the right side: \[ 6k - 8 = 90 - 7k + 45 \] Combine like terms: \[ 6k - 8 = 135 - 7k \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the equation Now, we will bring all terms involving \( k \) to one side and constant terms to the other side: \[ 6k + 7k = 135 + 8 \] This simplifies to: \[ 13k = 143 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( k \) Now, divide both sides by 13: \[ k = \frac{143}{13} \] Calculating this gives: \[ k = 11 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( k \) is: \[ \boxed{11} \]
