Question

Find the measure of angle A to the nearest degree. 26 27 63

Answer 1

63°

Explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to find ∠A

tanA =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(14)/(7)` = 2, thus

A =
`tan^(-1)`(2) ≈ 63° ( to the nearest degree )

Answer 2

Option c 63

Explanation:

In the given triangle

tan A =
`\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}`

=
`(14)/(7)`

= 2

A = tan⁻¹(2)

= 63.43° ≈ 63°

Option c is the answer.
