Question

Given tanB = 15/9 find angle B in degrees. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Explain/ show work pleasee

Answer 1

Are you allowed to use a calculator?

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

If so, then note that \(\tan B = \dfrac{15}{9} \implies \tan^{-1}(\tan B)=\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{15}{9}\right) \implies B = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{15}{9}\right)\).

Most calculators should have the capability to compute this value. What kind of calculator are you using?

Answer 4

google lol

Answer 5

lol, that's fine. Just type in "inverse tangent of (15/9) in degrees" into google and it will give you an approximate value.

Answer 6

59.036243?

Answer 7

Yes, so what would that be to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 8

59.04 thank you(:

Answer 9

You're welcome! :)
