The correct trigonometry formula
tan^(-1) (71°) . Therefore ,
tan^(-1)(71°) is correct .

The correct trigonometry formula to use to solve for the given angle is the tangent formula.

This is because you are given the side opposite to the angle (48) and the side adjacent to the angle (34), and you need to solve for the angle itself (71°).

The tangent formula is:

tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent

In this case, you would have:


tan^-1 = 48 / 34


tan^-1 = 0. 708333 degree


tan^-1 = 0.71 degree


tan^-1 (0.71)

= 35.3112 degree.

Therefore, the correct answer is tan(71°).

Answer:


?=\tan^(-1)\left(0.71\right) degree

Final answer is
?=35 degree.

Explanation:

Using given information in the picture, we need to find the missing value of angle "?"

Apply formula of tangent function which is :


\tan\left(\theta\right)=(opposite)/(adjacent)


\tan\left(?^o\right)=(34)/(48)


\tan\left(?^o\right)=0.70833333


?=\tan^(-1)\left(0.70833333\right) degree


?=\tan^(-1)\left(0.71\right) degree


?=35.311213439633198288773274209433 degree

Hence final answer is
?=35 degree.
