Answer:

  • missing side: 29.7 feet
  • missing angle: 53.5°

Explanation:

The missing side is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

X = √(37^2 -22^2) = √885 ≈ 29.7 . . . feet

The missing angle is found using the cosine relation:

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

cos(x) = 22/37

x = arccos(22/37) ≈ 53.5°

_____

The posted question asks for side length; the picture asks for angle.
