Since this is a right triangle, we can use one of the three main trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, or tangent.

Remember: SOH-CAH-TOA

Looking from angle x, we know the opposite side and the adjacent side. Therefore, we should use the tangent function to solve.

tan(x) = 8/10

x = tan^-1(8/10)

x = 38.7 degrees

Hope this helps!
