Question

Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest degree.
?

Answer 1

Set the measure of the indicated angle as x:

`tan(x)=(11)/(34)\\\\x=tan^(-1)((11)/(34))\\\\x=17.9279...`

Therefore, the measure of the indicated angle is around 18°

Answer 2

18

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp /adj

tan ? = 11/34

Taking the inverse tan of each side

tan ^-1 (tan ?) = tan ^-1 (11/34)

? =17.92791

To the nearest degrees

? = 18
