Answer:

x ≈ 23.6°

Explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sinx° =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(2)/(5) , thus

x =
sin^(-1) (
(2)/(5) ) ≈ 23.6° ( to the nearest tenth )

Since we have the opposite and the hypotenuse, we have to use Sine so:

SinA = opposite/hypotenuse
Sin x = 2/5
Sin x = 0.4
x = sin inverse (0.4)
x = 23.57817848
Or if you want want to shorten it then
x = 23.57

Hope this helps!
