Question

Find the angle represented by x ( round the nearest tenth of a degree) A 16.2 B 16.4 c17.1 d17.4

Answer 1

B. 16.4

Explanation:

Answer 2

B. 16.4°

Explanation:

reference angle = x =
`\theta`

Side length opposite to x = 20 ft = opp

Adjacent side length = 68 ft = adj

Apply the following trigonometric ratios formula:

`tan(\theta) = (opp)/(adj)`

Plug in the values into the formula

`tan(x) = (20)/(68)`

`tan(x) = 0.2941`

`x = tan^(-1)(0.2941)`

`x = 16.3886`

x = 16.4° (nearest tenth)
