Answer:

10.5

Explanation:

\text{SOH-CAH-TOA}

SOH-CAH-TOA

\tan V = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}=\frac{15}{81}

tanV=

adjacent

opposite

=

81

15

\tan V = \frac{15}{81}

tanV=

81

15

V=\tan^{-1}(\frac{15}{81})

V=tan

−1

(

81

15

)

V=10.4915\approx 10.5^{\circ}

V=10.4915≈10.5

Type into calculator and round to the nearest tenth of a degree.

(opp. of ∠V)
