Answer 1

`\rm \color{fuchsia}{Answer:}`

• 49. 6°

Explanation:

`\rm{tangent \: = \: opposite \:/ adjacent} \\ \rm{tan \: x \: = \: 40 \:/ 34} \\ \rm \: x \: = arctan \: (40 \:/ 34) \\ \: \rm {x \: = \boxed{49. \: 60°}}`

Answer 2

• 49.6°

Explanation:

• tangent = opposite / adjacent
• tan x = 40/34
• x = arctan (40/34)
• x ≈ 49.6°
