Question

A tangent of an angle is 0.8 what is the measure of the measure if the angle to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer: The measure of angle to the nearest tenth = 38.7°

Explanation:

Since we have given that

A tangent of an angle = 0.8

i.e.

`\tan \theta=0.8`

We need to find the measure if the angle to the nearest tenth.

According to question,

`\tan \theta=0.8\\\\\theta=tan^(-1)(0.8)\\\\\theta=38.66=38.7\textdegree`

Hence, The measure of angle to the nearest tenth = 38.7°
