In the given figure, the value of perpendicular and hypotenuse is given, so we have to use any trigonometric ratio to find the value of angle as the given triangle is a right-angled triangle

So,

Perpendicular = P = 32

Hypotenuse = H = 58

So,

$sin\ x = \frac{P}{H}\\sin\ x = \frac{32}{58}\\sin\ x = 0.5517\\x = sin^{-1} ( 0.5517)\\x =33.48$

Rounding off to nearest tenth

x = 33.5°

Question 8:

In the given figure, the value of Base and Perpendicular is given, we will use tangent trigonometric ratio to find the value of x

So,

Perpendicular = P = 5

Base = B = 20

So,

$tan\ x = \frac{P}{B}\\tan\ x = \frac{5}{20}\\tan\ x = 0.25\\x = tan^{-1} (0.25)\\x = 14.036$

Rounding off to nearest tenth

x = 14.0°
