Answer:

option c

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of the right angled triangle = x , (x +1) , (x +2)

Perimeter = 12 feet

x + x +1 + x + 2 = 12

x +x + x + 1+2 = 12

Combine like terms

3x+  3 = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides

3x = 12- 3

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

x = 9/3

x = 3

x + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4

x + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

The sides of the triangle are 3 , 4 ,5

The biggest side will be the hypotenuse.

So, hypotenuse = 5 ft. other legs are 3 and 4

[tex]\text {Sin \ $\theta$ = $\dfrac{opposite \ side \ of \ \theta}{hypotenuse}$ } \\\\\\ = \dfrac{4}{5}\\\\\\Sin \ \theta = 0.8\\\\\theta = Sin^{-1} \ 0.8\\\\\theta = 53.13 \ ^\circ[/tex]

another angle = 180 - [ 90 + 53.13]

                        = 180 - 143.13

                         = 36.87°
