ANSWER:

30.2°

Explanation:

The angle x can be calculated by means of the tangent trigonometric ratio, which relates the opposite leg to the adjacent leg, just like this:


\begin{gathered} \tan x=\frac{\text{ opposite}}{\text{ adjacent }} \\ \text{ opposite = 110} \\ \text{ adjacent = 189} \end{gathered}

We substitute and calculate for x just like this:


\begin{gathered} \tan\:x\:=\:(110)/(189) \\ x=\tan^(-1)\left((110)/(189)\right) \\ x=30.2\degree \end{gathered}

Therefore, the angle is 30.2°
