Answer: x = 50.3°

Explanation:

We are given an angle, an opposite side to this angle, and the hypotenuse. This means we will utilize the sine function.

Given:


\displaystyle sin(\theta) =(opposite\;side)/(hypotenuse)

Substitute known values:


\displaystyle sin(x) =(30)/(39)

Take the inverse of sine for both sides.


sin^(-1)(\displaystyle sin(x)) =sin^(-1)((30)/(39))

Compute the inverse of sine of
(30)/(39).


\displaystyle x \approx 50.3\°
