Question

Find the missing angle
A) 61.1
49.40
B) 56.10
D) 59.7

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

You have the opposite side given and the adjacent side. That means you will use the tangent.

Tan(theta) = opposite / adjacent

opposite = 6

adjacent = 3.5

Tan(theta) = 6 / 3.5

Tan(theta) = 1.714

Tan-1(1.714) = 59.74

when you get an answer over 1 from the division, you know that the angle is over 45 degrees.
