Question

So I have to find the angle for x. The adjacent side is 15 and the opposite side is 8. How do I find for angle x? Keep in mind this is a 90 degree triangle. Then round to nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

First, would you use sin, cos, or tan for the angle?

Answer 2

Hint: soh cah toa

Answer 3

We are given the adjacent and the opposite..so we use Tangent.

\(\sf tan(x^o) = \dfrac{8}{15}\)

Divide 8 / 15 and find the inverse of tangent.
