Question

Can someone please help me find the value of X?

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the angle "x". To do that we will use the following function:

`\tan x=(opposite)/(adjacent)`

Replacing the values:

`\tan x=(16)/(8)`

Simplifying the fraction:

`\tan x=2`

Now we solve for "x" by taking the inverse function of tan:

`x=\tan ^(-1)2`

solving we get:

`x=63.43`

Therefore, angle "x" is 63.43°.
