Answer:

44.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

You're given an unknown angle, the adjacent side to that angle, and the hypotenuse. So use cosine.

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

cos A = 10 / 14

A = cos⁻¹(5/7)

A ≈ 44.4°
