Answer:
71 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We know that the angle is unknown as demonstrated by '?'
2. The 17 side is opposite of the unknown angle
3. The 18 side the hypotenuse (not in contact with the right angle)
4. Therefore sine will be used where, sine(degree) = opposite/hypotenuse
5. The equation should be sine(degree) = 17/18
6. Since we don't know the degree we bring sine to the left and has a negative power of 1
7. The equation now becomes degree = sine^-1 (17/18)
8. The answer to this is 70.811... which equals 70 degrees and 48 minutes which rounds to the nearest degree of 71
