Answer:83.0°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ∆XYZ, with 3 known sides, to find angle X, apply the Law of Cosines, c² = a² + b² - 2ab*cos(C).
For convenience sake, this formula can be rewritten to make the angle we are looking for the subject of the formula.
Thus, we would have this following:
Where,
C = X = ?
a = 8 ft
b = 16 ft
c = 17 ft
