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
