Question

If: tanx = 3/8 find X (3sf)

Answer 1

x=20.6 is the answer because you type  Tan-1(3/8) in the calculator to get the answer because you are trying to get x by its self

Answer 2

The value of x is:

20.556 degrees.

Explanation:

We are asked to find the angle x such that we are given a tangent trigonometric function corresponding to the angle x as follows:

`\tan x=(3)/(8)`

Now, on taking inverse trigonometric function on both the sides of the equation we have:

`x=\tan^(-1) (3)/(8)`

This means that:

`x=20.556\ \text{degrees}`
