To find angle x we can use the tangent function. Remember that the tangent function is defined as:
[tex]\tan \theta=\frac{\text{opp}}{\text{adj}}[/tex]For angle x the opposite leg is 1.1 and the adjacent leg is 7.5, plugging this values into the equation above and solving for x we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan x=\frac{1.1}{7.5} \\ x=\tan ^{-1}(\frac{1.1}{7.5}) \\ x=8.3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore x is equal to 8.3°
