Question

What is m∠G to the nearest tenth? A right angle triangle EFG. The length of EF is 28.2 and GF is 45.8. Angle GFE is given as 90 degrees.

Answer 1

31.6°

Explanation:

The triangle given us a right angled Triangle

We solve the above question using the trigonometric function of Tangent

The formula is given as:

tan θ = opp/adj

θ = m∠G = ?

Opposite = EF is 28.2

Adjacent = GF is 45.8

tan θ = 28.2/45.8

θ = arc tan (28.2/45.8)

θ = 31.621459805°

Approximately

m∠G = 31.6°
