Ok so, we have SOH CAH TOA
SOH is sine then Opposite over Hypotenuse

CAH is cos then Adjacent over Hypotenuse

and TOA is tangent then opposite over adjacent

The angle of reference here is x
So the two angles we have, from the position of x, is the hypotenuse and opposite
SOH is opposite over hypotenuse

Then make sure your calculator is in degree mode, to do that click mode, then click degrees (if it isn't in degrees your answer will be different)

so plug into the calculator (do inverse sine to get the degree)

sin-1( 17/41)=24.496 but which rounds up to 24.50

x°=24.50°
