Question

Tommy was solving the triangle below. Which of the following is TRUE about his solution? Help ASAP !!!!

Answer 1

A) The value of x is incorrect. He should be using 28/21 instead of 21/28.

Explanation:

Recall that
`tan\theta=(opposite)/(adjacent)`. This means that the correct setup would be
`tan\theta=(28)/(21)` since 28 is opposite of x° and 21 is adjacent to x°. Thus, your solution would be
`x^(o)=tan^(-1)((28)/(21))=53.13010235^o\approx53.1^o`

Answer 2

The value of x is incorrect he should be using 28/21 instead of 21/28

Explanation:

tan = opp/adj

tanx = 28/21

The value of x is incorrect he should be using 28/21 instead of 21/28
