Answer:

5. 70°

6. 69°

7. 17°

8. 37°

Explanation:

Problems 5, 7, 8 have the opposite side and adjacent side given. You know that ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Then the angle measure is ...

angle = arctan(Opposite/Adjacent)

__

Problem 6 gives the opposite side and the hypotenuse. The sine relation is involved there:

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Then the angle measure is ...

angle = arcsin(Opposite/Hypotenuse)

__

5. ? = arctan(93/34) ≈ 70°

6. ? = arcsin(42/45) ≈ 69°

7. ? = arctan(11/35) ≈ 17°

8. ? = arctan(22/29) ≈ 37°
