$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\:=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}=\mathrm{2}{n}\pi \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{S}=\mathrm{2}\pi\left(\mathrm{0}+\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}+…+\mathrm{14}\right)=\mathrm{210}\pi \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{answer}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{210} \\ $$
