What is the measure of angle N to the nearest whole degree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the Pythagorean therom to determine the length of the other side and then you can use the definitions for sin and cos. or use the definition of tan use the opposite and adjacent sides to determine the angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case \[\tan \theta=(6/7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\theta=\tan ^{-1}(6/7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry should be tan ^-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help with the measure of anglle N to the nearest whole number 40,41,49,50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should get 40.601 rounded up is 41

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand how i got that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you heard of soh cah toa?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no what is that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soh means \[\sin \theta=opposite/hypotenuse\] cah means \[\cos \theta=adjacent/hypotenuse \] tah means \[\tan \theta=adjacent/opposite\] its a way to remember the definitions of sin cos and tan. |dw:1360591964471:dw|
