Question

Help
Find x. Round to the nearest tenth.
be
13
15

Answer 1

x = 49.1 degrees

Explanation:

From the right angle given,

Opposite side = 15

Adjacent side = 13

Angle = x

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tan x = opposite/adj

tan x = 15/13

x = arctan(15/13)

x = arctan 1.1538

x = 49.1 degrees (to the nearest tenth)
