Question

The tangent of an angle is 0.8. What is the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth
​

Answer 1

38.7 degrees

Explanation:

tan(x) = 0.8

x = tan-1 (0.8)

x= 38.65 degrees

arctan(4/5) in degrees on Google will give the answer.

Answer 2

36.7

Explanation:

let angle be x

tan x = 0.8

x = tan⁻¹ 0.8 (use calculator)

x = 36.6598

x = 36.7 (nearest tenth)
