Question

Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

For the angle marked x, 5 ft is the opposite leg, and 27 ft is the adjacent leg.
The trig ratio that relates the opposite leg and the adjacent leg is the tangent.


`\tan \theta = (opp)/(adj)`


`\tan x = (5~ft)/(27~ft)`


`x = \tan^(-1) (5)/(27)`


`x = 10.491477^\circ`

Rounded to the nearest degree, the answer is 10 degrees.

Answer 2

Use inverse to solve this problem. Tan-1(5/27). =10.491 which rounded to the nearest degree equals 11.
