Question

Solve for x. Round to the nearest hundredth.

A. 35.38
B. 59.93
C. 54.62
D. 30.07

Answer 1

B. 59.93

Explanation:

tan theta = opposite/ adjacent

tan x = 19/11

Take the inverse tan of each side

tan^-1 (tan x) =tan^-1 (19/11)

x = 59.93141718

Rounding to the nearest hundredth

x = 59.93
