To find the value of x in the right triangle with sides 7, 9, and x, we can use trigonometric ratios.

First, let's find the angle opposite side x. We will use the sine inverse function since we are given the opposite side (x) and the hypotenuse (9).

sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
sin(theta) = x / 9

Inv(sin) (x/9) = Inv(sin) (x/9)
theta = Inv(sin) (x/9)

theta = Inv(sin) (x/9)
theta = sin^(-1)(x/9)
theta = 51.0 degrees

Therefore, the value of x is 51.0 degrees.
