We are asked to determine the angle "x". To do that we will use the following function:

$\tan x=(opposite)/(adjacent)$

Replacing the values:

$\tan x=(16)/(8)$

Simplifying the fraction:

$\tan x=2$

Now we solve for "x" by taking the inverse function of tan:

$x=\tan ^(-1)2$

solving we get:

Therefore, angle "x" is 63.43°.
