Answer:

x = 73

Explanation:

Since it's asking for the angle it's going to be inverse (sin-1,cos-1,tan-1)

It only gives you the opposite side and the hypotenuse

You can find the opposite side by going opposite from the missing angle like basically the side that is not being touched by x (The 4) This is the opposite angle

The hypotenuse is always going to be the long angle that is on the opposite side of the right angle (The 6) This is the hypotenuse

The adjacent side is the side not opposite to the x

Remember the acronym SOH CAH TOA

sin-opposite/hypotenuse

cos-adjacent/hypotenuse

tan-opposite/adjacent

The opposite and hypotenuse are the only sides that gave a number so it is sin and is inverse


sin^(-1) ((4)/(6) ) = .729

hope this helps
