Question

5. If sin x = 0.8829, what is the measure of the angle x?

Answer 1

0.0154°

Explanation:

In this problem we are required to solve for x, which is the angle, there are two ways to go about about it, we either use four figure table or calculator.

To use calculator remember to set your calculator in degrees and not in radian.

Punch sin 0.8829=0.0154°

Answer 2

Answer: The angle is 62.77°

Explanation:

Here we can use the inverse function of the sin, the arcsin, this function is such that:

Asin(sin(x)) = x

and we have that sin(x) = 0.8829

Asin(sinx)) = Asin(0.8829) = 62.77°

The angle x, in degrees, is 62.77°
