Answer 1

)

tanx = 3/10
x=16.7 B

2)

tan 64 = 173/x

x = 84.38 D

3)

tan21 = x/442
x= 169.67 B

4)

tanx = 16.2/48.3
x = 18.54 A


5)

tanx = 8/6.5
x = 50.91 C


6)
tan89 = 1149/x
x=20.06 A

7)
tanx = 21/12
x= 60.26 B

8) B

9)
tanx = 25/63
x = 21.64 C

10)
tanx = 60/15
x= 75.96 D

Answer 2

tanx = 8/6.5
x = 50.91
