Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

cos theta = adj / hypotenuse

cos x = 13/20

Taking the inverse cos of each side

arccos ( cos x ) = arccos( 13/20)

x = arccos ( 13/20)

x =49.45839

x = 49 to the nearest whole number

sin theta = opp/ hyp

sin y = 13/20

Taking the inverse sin of each side

arcsin ( sin y ) = arcsin( 13/20)

y = arcsin ( 13/20)

y=40.5416

y = 41 to the nearest whole number
