Question

What is the value of X to the nearest degree?
Answer options: 68, 77, 22, 63.

Answer 1

Hi there!

In order to find the value of x, we'll need to use the inverse of tangent. This is our equation: tan ^ (-1) = 5/2

Solving the equation gives you approximately 68 degrees. The correct answer is 68 degrees.

Answer 2

x= 68

Explanation:

tan theta = opposite side/ adjacent side

tan x = 5/2

Take the arctan of each side

arctan (tan x) = arctan (5/2)

x = arctan (5/2)

x =68.19859051

To the nearest degree

x= 68
