Answer:

Explanation:

The right angle means that you are working with a right angle triangle. Therefore one of the 3 basic trig functions must be used to define x.

Sin(x) = opposite / hypotenuse.

opposite = 15

hypotenuse = 17

Sin(x) = 15/17

Sin(x) = 0.8824

But that's not what you are asked for. You are asked for an angle. That means you must use the inverse of the sine function.

x = sin-1(0.8824)

x = 61.93

That's about as brief as I can make it.
