For angle x, the perpendicular side is 8 and hypotenuse side is 17. The sine of angle is equal to the ratio of perpendicular side to hypotenuse side.
Determine the measure of angle x by using trigonometry.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin x=\frac{8}{17} \\ x=\sin ^{-1}(\frac{8}{17}) \\ =28.072 \\ \approx28.07 \end{gathered}[/tex]
