Question

NEED HELP ASAP!! Trigonometry!! Need to find x

Answer 1

38.7

Explanation:

You are given the lengths of the legs of the triangle.

The trig ratio that relates the lengths of the legs is the tangent.

tan x = opp/adj

tan x = 8/10

tan x = 0.8

Use the inverse tangent function to find x.

tan^(-1) 0.8 = 38.7 deg

Answer: x = 38.7 deg

Answer 2

Hey there!

We have tangent x=8/10

This simplifies to tangent x=0.8

Arctan=0.8, x=38.7 degrees.

Let me know if this helps :)
