Question

By first finding tan θ, calculate the size of angle θ.

Give your answer in degrees to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

θ ≈ 66°

Explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tanθ =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(16)/(7)` , then

θ =
`tan^(-1)` (
`(16)/(7)` ) ≈ 66° ( to the nearest integer )
