Question

In ΔSTU, the measure of ∠U=90°, US = 5.9 feet, and TU = 2.6 feet. Find the measure of ∠T to the nearest tenth of a degree

Answer 1

66.2

Explanation:

Answer 2

T=66.218≈66.2

∘

Explanation:

\tan T = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}=\frac{5.9}{2.6}

tanT=

adjacent

opposite

​

=

2.6

5.9

​

\tan T = \frac{5.9}{2.6}

tanT=

2.6

5.9

​

T=\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.9}{2.6})

T=tan

−1

(

)

T=66.218\approx 66.2^{\circ}

T=66.218≈66.2
