Question

Instructions: Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest degree.

?
33
8

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

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

tan theta = opp side /adj side

tan theta = 8/33

taking the inverse tan of each side

tan^-1 (tan theta) =tan^-1 (8/33)

theta = tan ^-1 (8/33)

theta =13.62699486

To the nearest degree

theta = 14
