Step 1 :We are given the cosine of an angle and we need to find the angle itself. We can use the arccos function (also known as the inverse cosine function) to find the angle. The arccos function returns the angle in radians, so we will need to convert it to degrees.
Step 2 :Given that \(\cos \theta = 0.87852455\)
Step 3 :Calculate the arccos of 0.87852455 to get the angle in radians: \(\theta_{rad} = \arccos(0.87852455) = 0.4980316258984871\) radians
Step 4 :Convert the angle from radians to degrees: \(\theta_{deg} = \theta_{rad} \times \frac{180}{\pi} = 28.535110228021615\) degrees
Step 5 :Final Answer: The value of \(\theta\) that satisfies the given statement is approximately \(\boxed{28.535110}^{\circ}\)
