Question

Given tanB = 15/9 find angle B in degrees. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Given

`\tan(B)=(15)/(9)`

This is the same as

`\tan(B)=(5)/(3)`

Take arctangent of both sides

`B=arctan( (5)/(3))`

`B=59.03624347`

Rounding to the nearest hundredth means round to two decimal places

`B=59.04\degree`
