You are given a right triangle. The Opposit side length is 7 and the hypotenuse length is 9. What is the degree of the bigger angle? (The one closest to the 90* angle)

Answer 1

if x is the angle,

sin(x) = 7/9 = .77777
x = 51°

Answer 2

let the angle opposite the 7 unit side be Ø

sinØ = 7/9
Ø = 51.1°

( then the third angle would be 38.9° )
