Answer

Inverse trig will be used to solve for this unknown angle.

Unknown angle = 32.6°

Step-by-step explanation

In a right-angle triangle, the side opposite the right angle is the Hypotenuse, the side opposite the given angle that is non-right angle is the Opposite and the remaining side is the Adjacent.

For this question,

Hypotenuse = 38

Opposite = ?

Adjacent = 32

So, to get the angle marked, we will use inverse-trig to say CAH means

Cos x = (32/38)

x = Cos⁻¹ (32/38)

x = 32.6°

Hope this Helps!!!
