Find an angle without using trignometry
$begingroup$
This question has already been asked before, so it is actually a duplicate of:
How to make correct system of equations to solve for the angles in this triangle?
But I was trying to solve this question WITHOUT using trignometry, and I couldn't. I would appreciate it if anyone can give an answer.
I tried to get equations that contain $x$ but the results I reached are the same as the result reached in the above question and nothing new...

You may just replace every sine in the linked solution with a ratio $frac{text{leg}}{text{hypotenuse}}$. And yes, this is just saying that there is little point in avoiding trigonometry, since it is a wonderful shortcut in so many cases.
