Answer:

63°

Explanation:

1) Examing that right triangle, we can find the value of the angle x starting by using a trig ratio and then its reciprocal. Like this:

sin( x ) = 81/91

x = arcsin (81/91)

x = 62.88 = 63

Notice we have the opposite leg and the hypotenuse, so we started with the sine. And to find the value of the angle the arcsin.

2) So, that angle x is 63° (rounding off to the nearest degree)
