Plz refer to the diag. above
Fig 1 : is a 3:4:5 \( \triangle\)
and the angles are 36.87 : 53.13 : 90 (since the smallest \(\angle \)is 36.87 given)
Now, let us look into fig 2
since OA = OB = radius of the circle = 5, so the line OC divides the side AB into two equal parts. As a result two 3:4:5 \(\triangle \)s are formed
Now, in fig 3
we have a 3:4:5\( \triangle
\)
and since the smallest \(\angle\) = COB = 36.87,
therefore \(\angle x = 53.13\) degree
