Ok, so

Let me draw the triangle here below:

In this case, the most useful function we could use, is tan(x).

Tan(x) relations the opposite side of the angle and the adjacent side of the angle, like this:

tan(x) = 4/5

And, to find x, we just apply the inverse function of tan(x):

x = arctan(4/5)

x = 38.65°, which rounded to the nearest degree is 39°.

14.

Here, we have to use tan(x) again. We relation the opposite side of x and its adjacent side.

tan(x) = 9/3

tan(x) = 3

x = arctan(3)

x = 72°

15.

Here, we have to use tan(x) again. We relation the opposite side of x and its adjacent side.

This is:

tan(x) = 7/14

tan(x) = 0.5

x = arctan(0.5)

x= 26.56 which rounded to the nearest degree is 27°.
