Question

find the measure of the angle whose tangent is given. Give the angle measure to the nearest whole number of degrees 1.7321

Answer 1

... just use the inverse tangent function on a calculator

Answer 2

what is the inverse tangent function?

Answer 3

it is the undoing function of a tangent; within limits

Answer 4

type this into a google search bar: arcTan(1.7321) * 180/pi

the extra 180/pi part is to convert from radians to degrees.

Answer 5

googles being finicky :/

Answer 6

the wolf is better

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=arcTan%281.7321%29+*+180%2Fpi

and from this next one, you can see that it translates the radians to degrees automatically as well
