Answer:

55.5°

Explanation:

You want the angle in a right triangle that has opposite side 16 and adjacent side 11.

Tangent

The tangent relation is ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

In this geometry, that means ...

tan(x) = 16/11

Taking the inverse tangent, we have ...

x = arctan(16/11) ≈ 55.49° ≈ 55.5°

The angle x is about 55.5°.
