Answer:

Explanation:

This is a right triangle problem. The reference angle is x, the side opposite the reference angle is 32, and the hypotenuse is 58. The trig ratio that relates the side opposite a reference angle to the hypotenuse is the sin. Filling in accordingly:


sin(x)=(32)/(58)

Because you are looking for a missing angle, you will use your 2nd button and then the sin button to see on your display:


sin^(-1)(

Within the parenthesis enter the 32/58 and you'll get your angle measure. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode, not radian mode!!!
