Find the measure of angle x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. A right triangle is shown with one leg measuring 8 and the hypotenuse is labeled 17. An angle that is not 90 degrees is marked x.

The answer is 28.07 or 61.93. The hypotenuse (17) is across the right angle. Let x is across one leg (8) : sin (90) / 17 = sin (x) / 8. 1/17 = sin (x) / 8. sinx = 8/17. x = sin-1 (8/17) = 28.07. If x is across the other leg, then x = 90 - 28.1 = 61.93
