Question

31
?
40
Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest whole degree.

Answer 1

51°

Explanation:

Reference angle (θ) = ?

Opposite side length = 31

Hypotenuse length = 40

Apply SOH, which is;

Sin θ = Opp/Hyp

Plug in the values

Sin θ = 31/40

θ = sin^{-1}(31/40)

θ = 51° (neatest whole degree)
