Answer:

Explanation:

From the given right angle triangle,

The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle is the unknown side.

With m∠x as the reference angle,

the adjacent side of the right angle triangle is 17

the opposite side of the right angle triangle is 16

To determine x, we would apply

the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan x = 16/17 = 1.0625

x = Tan^-1(0.941)

x = 43.3° to the nearest tenth.
