Can I use a potential divider equation in this context? I am unsure how to approach answering this question. I am trying to obtain the Vrms value and then continue from there.

Power dissipation in a resistor is
P = I x I x R
P = V x V / R

Determine the Vrms and use the power formula above.

Thanks for the help, these are useful but i cant seem to perform any kind of nodal/loop analysis without running into some kind of issue. I don't know what technique I'm missing.

Do you know how to handle a dependent source in a circuit? That is what you need to know because of the 20ix source.
Then you calculate Ix (or voltage across that resistor 50 Ohms) and then you can calculate the power. You can probably assume that the source 'is' is given in peak units because of the formula given 6*cos(1000*t).
