Given the Right Triangle, you can find the missing angle "x" using this Inverse Trigonometric Function:


\beta=\sin ^(-1)((opposite)/(hypotenuse))

In this case, you can identify that:


\begin{gathered} \beta=x \\ opposite=66 \\ hypotenuse=79 \end{gathered}

Therefore, substituting values into the formula and evaluating, you get:


\begin{gathered} x=\sin ^(-1)((66)/(79)) \\ \\ x\approx56.7\text{\degree} \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is:


x\approx56.7\text{\degree}
