Question

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

degree.
?
35
19
?

Answer 1

Since this is a right triangle, we can use one of the three main trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, or tangent.

Remember: SOH-CAH-TOA

Looking from the angle, we know the opposite side and the adjacent side. Therefore, we should use the tangent function.

tan(x) = 19 / 35

x = tan^-1(19/35)

x = 28 degrees

Hope this helps!
