The tangent of an angle is 3.4. What is the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

let's call the angle we are looking for x we have \(\large \tan(x)=3.4 ===> x=\arctan(3.4)\)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

use the calculator

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

tan(3.4) = 0.05941094707

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i said arctan not tan

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

x=arctan(3.4) look in your calculator for \(\tan^{-1}\)

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

oh then i got 73.61045967

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes that okay round the nearest tenth

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

73.6

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

okay thank u
