Answer:
26.1°
Explanation:
You want the value of angle x° in a right triangle that has the side adjacent to x being 53 cm, and the side opposite being 26 cm.
Tangent
The tangent ratio is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
Application
The side opposite the angle is 26 cm; the side adjacent is 53 cm. The ratio of these is ...
tan(x) = 26/53
The arctangent function is used to find the angle when the tangent is known.
x = arctan(26/53) ≈ 26.1°
The angle x° is approximately 26.1°.
