Answer:

18

Explanation:

Assuming the sides are 12 and 38

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

We know the opp side and the adj side of the angle in questions

tan ? = opp /adj

tan ? = 12/38

Taking the inverse tan of each side

tan ^-1 (tan ?) = tan ^-1 (12/38)

?=17.52556

To the nearest degree

? = 18

If the side is 36,

tan ? = opp /adj

tan ? = 12/36

Taking the inverse tan of each side

tan ^-1 (tan ?) = tan ^-1 (12/36)

?=18.43494

To the nearest degree

? = 18
