Question

Solve for 2. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.3440-10

Answer 1

We can use tangent function in order to find the value of x:

$\tan (x)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$$\tan (x)=\frac{40}{34}$

take the inverse tangent of both sides:

$\begin{gathered} x=\tan ^{-1}(\frac{40}{34}) \\ x=49.6^{\circ^{}} \end{gathered}$
