Question

Solve for X. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.

Answer 1

x = 40.5

Explanation:

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

tan theta = opp /adj

tan x = 4.7/5.5

Taking the inverse tan of each side

tan ^-1 (tan x) = tan^-1 (4.7/5.5)

x=40.51539

To the nearest tenth

x = 40.5
