Question

Find x round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree

Answer 1

x = 49.4

Explanation:

It's right triangle , so we can use trigonometry functions

tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side

tan x = 14 / 12

Taking inverse tan of each side

`\small \sf \leadsto \: tan { }^( - 1) (tan \: x \: ) = tan \: {}^( - 1) ( (14)/(12)) \\`

x = 49.39870535

Round nearest tenth of degree = 49.4

Answer 2

x = 49.4

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp /adj

tan x = 14/12

Taking the inverse tan of each side

tan ^-1 ( tan x) = tan ^-1 (14/12)

x =49.39870535

x = 49.4
