Solution Steps

To find the acute angle \(\theta\) given \(\sin \theta = 0.7692\), we need to use the inverse sine function (also known as arcsine). The result will be in radians, so we need to convert it to degrees and then round it to the nearest tenth.

Step 1: Given Value

We are given \(\sin \theta = 0.7692\).

Step 2: Calculate the Angle in Radians

To find \(\theta\), we use the inverse sine function: \[ \theta = \arcsin(0.7692) \approx 0.8776 \text{ radians} \]

Step 3: Convert Radians to Degrees

Convert the angle from radians to degrees: \[ \theta \approx 0.8776 \times \frac{180}{\pi} \approx 50.2821^\circ \]

Step 4: Round to the Nearest Tenth

Round the angle to the nearest tenth of a degree: \[ \theta \approx 50.3^\circ \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\theta \approx 50.3^\circ} \]
