Question

solve for angle x....

Answer 1

A triangle can have a measure up to 180 degrees I believe.

56+48=104

180-104=?

Answer 2

When you subtract 180 by 104 you should get your other angle!

Answer 3

76

Answer 4

@radar

Answer 5

I am thinking that those numbers are the length of the sides, not the measure of angles. I am also assuming this is a right triangle. Is these safe assumptions?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

I agree that those numbers 56 and 48 represent the lengths of the two legs of this triangle, which we assume is a right triangle.

Which trig function involves opposite side, adjacent side and an acute angle?

Answer 8

Then we can use a trigometric function. Tangent comes to mind. The tangent of x is 56/48. Would you verify that?

Answer 9

yes thats right

Answer 10

tan = 56/48

Answer 11

O.k , then the measure would be the inverse tangent
