Answer:

14.04

Explanation:

I just wanted to answer this to say that this answer is correct.

But here's a quick explanation.

We know x's opposite side and its adjacent side. Therefore, we'd use the Tangent ratio.

tanx=
(5)/(20)

tanx= 0.25

use a calculator to find the inverse.

14.03624

Round to nearest hundredth to get 14.04.

Tangent(Angle) = Opposite leg / Adjacent leg

Tangent (X) = 5/20

X = arctan(5/20)

x = 14.04 degrees ( Rounded to the nearest hundredth)
