Answer:

36°

Explanation:

The computation of the measure of the angle is shown below:

As we know that

The trigonometric function in the right angle is

sinα = OS ÷ H

And,

cosα = AS ÷ H

Here

α represent the one of the angles

OS and AS represent the opposite sides

And, H represent the hypotenuse

So

sinx = 8.5 ÷ 14.5

x = arcsin = 8.5 ÷ 14.5

= 35.88

= 36 degrees
