PLZ HELPPPPPP

which choice is the approximate measure of
A-64.80
B-61.93
C-28.07
D-25.20

Answer 1

D. 25.20

Explanation:

This looks like a SohCahToa problem. This method is used for finding missing angles and sides of right triangles. It stands for:

Sine: opposite/hypotenuse

Cosine: Adjacent/hypotenuse

Tangent: Opposite/Adjacent

In this case we need to use Tangent to find angle E since we have the opposite (8) and the Adjacent (17). To find angles, you must use the inverse of Tan this time.

Tan^-1 = 8/17 (plug into your calculator *make sure it is in degree mode*)
