Answer:

33.49

Explanation:

Given in the picture is a triangle with sides as 32 as one leg and 58 as hypotenuse

The angle opposite side 32 is x.

Since it is a right triangle, we have

sine of the angle = opposite side/hypotenuse

i.e. sin x =
(32)/(58) =0.5517

Take both sides sin inverse

x = sin inverse of 0.5517

=33.49
