Answer

$\arccos \dfrac{x}{6}=\arcsin \dfrac{\sqrt {36-x^2}}{6}$

Work Step by Step

Consider $\theta=\arcsin \dfrac{\sqrt {36-x^2}}{6}$ We can see that $\sqrt {36-x^2}$ is a positive quanity and $\theta$ must lie in the first quadrant. So, we have: $\cos \theta=\dfrac{x}{6} $ and $\theta =\arccos \dfrac{x}{6} $ and $\arccos \dfrac{x}{6}=\arcsin \dfrac{\sqrt {36-x^2}}{6}$
