Question

PLZZZZ HEEELLPPP!!!!!!

Use the tangent ratio to find the size of the angle marked x, correct to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

41°

Explanation:

SOHCAHTOA

Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

tanx = opp / adj

opposite from angle x is 12 centimeter side

adjacent to angle x is 14 centimeter side

the other side is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle

tanx = 12 / 14

use the inverse tangent button (usually press 2nd or shift on calculator and then press tangent button):

Type in calculator:
`tan^(-1)((12)/(14))`
