The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \cos 38^\circ \sec(90^\circ - 2A) = 1 \) and find the value of angle \( A \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the given equation: \[ \cos 38^\circ \sec(90^\circ - 2A) = 1 \] ### Step 2: Recall the identity of secant Recall that \( \sec(x) = \frac{1}{\cos(x)} \). Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \cos 38^\circ \cdot \frac{1}{\cos(90^\circ - 2A)} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Simplify using the identity Using the co-function identity \( \cos(90^\circ - x) = \sin(x) \), we can rewrite \( \cos(90^\circ - 2A) \) as \( \sin(2A) \): \[ \cos 38^\circ \cdot \frac{1}{\sin(2A)} = 1 \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the equation Now, we can rearrange the equation to isolate \( \sin(2A) \): \[ \cos 38^\circ = \sin(2A) \] ### Step 5: Use the complementary angle identity Since \( \sin(90^\circ - x) = \cos(x) \), we can express \( \sin(2A) \) in terms of cosine: \[ \sin(2A) = \sin(90^\circ - 38^\circ) = \sin(52^\circ) \] ### Step 6: Set the angles equal Now, we have: \[ 2A = 52^\circ \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( A \) Dividing both sides by 2 gives us: \[ A = \frac{52^\circ}{2} = 26^\circ \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of angle \( A \) is: \[ \boxed{26^\circ} \] ---
