Answer:

x = 63.5°

Explanation:

To find the value of x in the given right triangle, we would apply trigonometric function.

Reference angle = x

Side length Opposite to x = 17

Hypotenuse length = 19

Apply SOH:


sin(x) = (Opp)/(Hyp)


sin(x) = (17)/(19)


x = sin^(-1)((17)/(19))

x = 63.474648° ≈ 63.5° (nearest tenth)
