Question

PLEASE HELP

For the right triangle below, find the measure of the angle.
Figure is not to scale.

Answer 1

use tan since you are given the opposite and adjacent sides

tan θ =
`(opp)/(adj)\\\\`

tan θ =
`(2)/(12)`

use the inverse of tan to find the angle

θ =
`tan^(-1)((2)/(12))`

θ = 9.462322208...

θ = 9.46°
