Question

Use calculator to find the values of x. Enter decimals to the nearest 10th for sides and round to the nearest whole number for angles

Answer 1

Step 1:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Opposite = 14} \\ \text{Adjacent = 9} \\ \tan x\text{ = }\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}} \end{gathered}`

Step 2:

Substitute Opposite and Adjacent.

`\begin{gathered} \tan x\text{ = }(14)/(9) \\ \text{x = tan}^(-1)((14)/(9)) \\ \text{x = 57.3} \end{gathered}`

Final answer

x = 57
