Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Measure of adjacent side = 20

Measure of Hypotenuse = 24

Since, measures of adjacent side and Hypotenuse have been given in the question, cosine ratio will be applied to find the measure of angle x.

cos(x) =
\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

cos(x) =
(20)/(24)

x =
\text{cos}^(-1)(0.833)

= 33.55°

33.6°

Option D is the answer.
