Answer:

The answer is

31°

Explanation:

Let the unknown angle be x

To find x we use cosine

cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

From the question

The hypotenuse is 56

The adjacent is 48

So we have

cos x = 48/56

cos x = 6/7

x = cos-¹ 6/7

x = 31.003

x = 31° to the nearest degree

Hope this helps you
