Question

Calculate the smallest angle of a right- angle triangle if its shorter sides are 50cm and 60cm.​

Answer 1

Answer: 39.80557 degrees (approximate)

Work Shown

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(angle) = 50/60

tan(angle) = 5/6

angle =
`\tan^(-1)(5/6)`

angle ≈ 39.80557

Round this approximate value however needed.
