Answer : Option D

Explanation

Considering the given triangle :

GIVEN :

• Opposite side to angle = 34

,

• Adjacent side to angle = 48

,

• We will use Tan = opposite /adjacent trigonometric fuction tocalculate angle

CALCULATIONS:


\begin{gathered} \tan\theta\text{ = opposite /adjacent } \\ \text{ }\tan\theta\text{ = }(34)/(48) \\ \Rightarrow\theta\text{ = }\tan^(-1)((34)/(48)) \\ \therefore\text{ }\theta\text{ = }\tan^(-1)(0.71)\text{ } \end{gathered}

Therefore , = tan^-1( 0.71)
