Answer 1

67.98°

Explanation:

Given 2 sides, you can find the missing angle of a right triangle using basic trig functions.

Since Cos∅=adjacent/ hypotenuse, we can use the adjacent side to the angle, 3 and they hypotenuse, 8 in the ratio by doing 3/8. This is 0.375. Then we use the inverse cosine function to find the angle. This gives 67.98°

Or

Cos∅=0.375

Cos^-1= 67.98

Answer 2

Explanation:

This appears to be an SSA application of solving the triangle

We have 2 sides, so we will use the law of cosines

The law of cosines defines for a triangle ABC with side a/b/c with corresponding angles A/B/C

a^2 = b^2+c^2 - 2*b*c * (cos A)

this applies to the other 2 sides

first using the pythagorean theorem we find that BC = sqrt(55)

then we substitute all 3 sides into our equation to find angle A

55 = 64 + 9 - 2*8*3* (cos A)

18 = 2*8*3(cos A)

3/8 = (cos A)

and angle A is approximately 68 degrees
