Answer:

21 degrees

Explanation:

To find this, we are going to use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

The right angle faces the length 22 which is the hypotenuse

The marked angle faces the length 8 which makes it the opposite

The trigonometric ratio that links the two is the sine

The sine is the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

So, we have it that;

sine ? = 8/22

? = arc sine 8/22

? = 21 degrees
