#x=8.91^@#
or
#x=.155# Radians

Explanation:

To find this angle, you use the two sides you are given, 165 and 1053.

Look at where the angle x is. The two given lengths are opposite and adjacent sides.

Using the SOH CAH TOA Rule, you can see that the two sides fit in with the Tangent function.

#tanx=165/1053#

Recall that here you must use the #arctan# function.

#x=arctan(165/1053)#

This gives

#x=8.91^@#
or
#x=.155# Radians
