Question

What is the value of x to the nearest degree?

A - 28

B - 62

C - 83

D - 86

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

the answer should be B because

8 = adjacent
15 = opposite

tan = opposite/adjacent

(a good way to remember this is SOH CAH TOA,
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse - SOH
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse - CAH
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent - TOA)

tan-1 (15/8) = 61.9
round up to 62.
