Answer:We know that 0 = tan-¹(0.52).

The tangent function gives the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side of a right-angled triangle. Therefore, we can use the inverse tangent function to find the angle when the opposite and adjacent sides are given.

So, we can write this equation as:

tan(0) = 0.52

To solve for 0, we need to take the inverse tangent of both sides of the equation:

tan-¹(tan(0)) = tan-¹(0.52)

0 = tan-¹(0.52) ≈ 27.4° (rounded to 1 decimal place)

Therefore, the value of 0 is approximately 27.4 degrees to 1 decimal place.
