Question

Instructions: Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest

degree.
50
?
17

Answer 1

x = 19

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp /adj

tan ? = 17/50

Taking the inverse tan of each side

tan ^-1 (tan ?)) = tan^-1 (17/50)

? =18.77803

To the nearest degree

x = 19
