Explanation:

BD² = 3² + 6² = 9 + 36 = 45

BD = sqrt(45) = sqrt(9×5) = 3×sqrt(5)

BX = DX = CX = EX = BD/2 = 3/2 × sqrt(5)

AX² + BX² = 7²

AX² + (3/2 × sqrt(5))² = 49

AX² + 9/4 × 5 = 49

AX² = 196/4 - 45/4 = 151/4

AX = sqrt(151)/2

the requested angle is actually the angle ABX.

the law of sines :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides being opposite of the angles.

so,

7/sin(X = 90) = AX/sin(B)

sin(B) × 7 = AX × sin(90) = AX

sin(B) = AX/7 = sqrt(151)/2 / 7 = sqrt(151)/14

angle ABX = 61.36961352...°
