Question

In this triangle, what is the value of x? Enter your answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box. x = A right triangle with one leg labeled 26 centimeters and the other leg labeled 53 centimeters. The angle that is opposite the leg labeled 26 centimeters is labeled x degrees.

Answer 1

The measure of angle x is
`26.1\°`

Explanation:

In this problem we know that

The tangent of angle x is equal to divide the opposite side angle x to the adjacent side angle x

`tan(x)=(26)/(53)`

`x=arctan((26)/(53))=26.1\°`
