Question

Find x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree. 0 Х 47 X X 22

Answer 1

With respect to the angle x, we have

opposite side (47)

adjacent side (22)

Which trig ratio relates "opposite" and "adjacent".

It is tan!

Thus,

we can write

`\tan x=(47)/(22)`

We can take the inverse tan of (47/22) to find x. Shown below:

`\begin{gathered} \tan x=(47)/(22) \\ x=\tan ^(-1)((47)/(22)) \\ x=64.92\degree \end{gathered}`Answer
`x=64.92\degree`
