Answer:

$x\approx 63.4^0$

Explanation:

In the given right triangle,

Measure of angle = x°

Opposite side of the angle = 12 units

Adjacent side of the angle = 6 units

By taking tangent ratio of the given angle,

tan(x°) =
$\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

=
(12)/(6)

= 2

$x^0=\text{tan}^(-1)(2)}$

x=63.43^0

$x\approx 63.4^0$
