Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we are already given the sides adjacent and opposite to ∠x. Therefore, we can use the tangent function. Recall that:
[tex]\tan(x)=opp/adj[/tex]
The opposite side is 20 while the adjacent side is 14.
Plug in the numbers. Use a calculator:
[tex]\tan(x)=20/14=10/7\\x=\tan^{-1}(10/7)\\x\approx55.0080\textdegree\approx55\textdegree[/tex]
