The equation given to us is:
[tex] tan x{\circ} = 3.5 [/tex]
To find the angle [tex] x{\circ} [/tex] all that we need to do is either use a calculator or a table and find the corresponding value.
This will give:
[tex] x^{\circ}=tan^{-1}(3.5)=74.1^{\circ} [/tex]
Thus the required value of [tex] x [/tex] in degrees is [tex] 74.1^{\circ} [/tex]
Out of the given options, the second option is the correct one.
