Question

Find x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer 1

Answer: x=52.6°

Explanation:

To find the value of x, we have to use our SOHCAHTOA. We can eliminate sine and cosine because both uses hypotenuse, which is not labelled. Therefore, we use tangent.

`tan(x)=(17)/(13)`

To find x, we want to use inverse tangent.

`x=tan^(-1)((17)/(13) )` [plug into calculator]

`x=52.6`

Now, we know that x=52.6°.
