Question

I NEED HELP PLEASEEE

Answer 1

26.6

Explanation:

First, let's find the triangle that we'll be working with. We have an side adjacent to x that's 14m and a side opposite to x that's 7m (this is because we must subtract 2.5 from 8.5, but also add that 1). From here, we can use arctan (inverse of tangent function). Tangent is opposite/adjacent, so 7/14. We can input this into a calculator (MAKE SURE IT'S ON DEGREES NOT RADIANS I can't tell you how many times I forget to do this lol), as
`arctan(7/14)`. This should give us 26.56. From here, we round up to the nearest tenth and...solved!

let me know if this helps!
