Answer: tanx = 22/8, and x= 70
Explanation:
Given:
height = 22 feet
base = 8 feet
We draw a triangle and plug in the given values.
To get the value of x, we use
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{tangent x = }\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \\ \text{Substitute the opposite and adjacent values} \\ \tan \text{ x= }\frac{22}{8} \\ \text{Therefore the value to solve the equation of x is }\tan \text{ x= }\frac{22}{8} \\ \text{The value of :} \\ \text{x = tan}^{-1}(\frac{22}{8})\text{ } \\ x=70\mathring{} \end{gathered}[/tex]
