17. Find the value of x. Round to the nearest degree.

Answer:
51. Don't completely know if it's correct though.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd use sine, which is opposite side/hypotenuse. Here, I think the reference angle is x. The opposite side is 7, and the hypotenuse is 9. So...
sin(x) = [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex]
sin(x) = 0.7777
Next we use inverse sine.
sin⁻¹(0.7777) = approximately 51
The value of the angle x, for the given right angle, is approximately 51 degree to the nearest degree.
In a right angle triangle, the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse side is equal to the sine angle between adjacent side and hypotenuse, side.
[tex]\sin\theta=\dfrac{b}{c}[/tex]
Here, (b) is the opposite side, (c) is the hypotenuse side and [tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle made between adjacent side and hypotenuse, side.
In the given figure, the hypotenuse side is 9 units long and opposite side is 7 units long.
The angle between adjacent side and hypotenuse is x degrees. Thus, by the right angle triangle property,
[tex]\sin x=\dfrac{7}{9}\\x=\sin^{-1}(0.778)\\x\approx51^o[/tex]
Hence, the value of the angle x, for the given right angle, is approximately 51 degree to the nearest degree.
