Answer: D) 55.7 degrees approximately

=====================================================

The reference angle has AC = 12.3 as the opposite side and BC = 8.4 as the adjacent side. The tangent ratio ties the opposite and adjacent sides together.

--------

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(theta) = AC/BC

tan(theta) = 12.3/8.4

theta = arctan(12.3/8.4)

theta = 55.6697828044967

theta = 55.7 degrees approximately

--------

arctan is the same as inverse tangent which is written as
\tan^(-1)

make sure your calculator is in degree mode
