Answer:

28.9°

Explanation:

This is a Trigonometry question

From the above, question,

The horizontal distance = Adjacent = 29 feet

The distance of the kite from the ground = Opposite= 14 feet

We solve using the Trigonometric function of Sine

sin θ = Opposite/Adjacent

sin θ = 14/29

θ = arc sin (14/29)

θ = 28.865727415°

Approximately = 28.9°

Therefore, the angle measure of x = 28.9°
