To solve this problem we can draw the triangle so:

To find the angle between the sides we can use the cos identity that say:


\begin{gathered} \cos (x)=(8)/(10) \\ x=\cos ^(-1)(0.8) \\ x=36.87 \end{gathered}

draw a right triangle that has a leg with length 8 and a hypotenuse of 10. find the-example-1
