2) We can draw this situation as:

We can now find the angle x.

We can use trigonometric ratios as:


\begin{gathered} \tan(x)=(Opposite)/(Adjacent)=(23)/(34) \\ x=\arctan((23)/(34)) \\ x\approx34.08\degree \end{gathered}

3) We can draw this situation as:

We can find x as:


\begin{gathered} \tan(x)=(Opposite)/(Adjacent)=(12)/(17) \\ x=\arctan(12/17) \\ x\approx35.22\degree \end{gathered}

Answer:

2) 34.08°

3) 35.22°
