satellite73 · Answer

use arctangnt to find it

satellite73 · Answer

since you know the tangent of that angle

seratul · Answer

AnnaLee, before you start asking more question, you need to get a graphing calculator or there is no point.

annalee607 · Answer

I do not have the money for one so not sure what to tell you.

seratul · Answer

Does your school allow you to borrow/rent one?

annalee607 · Answer

Online schooled.

satellite73 · Answer

not to butt in but  you are on a computer, so there is no need for a calculator 
do you know what the tangent of that angle is?  that is the main point

satellite73 · Answer

hint: "opposite over adjacent"

seratul · Answer

Try this website http://web2.0calc.com/ There is sine cosine and tangent

annalee607 · Answer

6/10?

throneofbooks · Answer

Tangent= adjacent/opposite

t= 6/10

satellite73 · Answer

no and no

satellite73 · Answer

you have it upside down, 
opposite over adjacent, not adjacent over opposite

annalee607 · Answer

so 10/6?

satellite73 · Answer

yes, also known as $\frac{5}{3}$ so since $$\tan(x)=\frac{5}{3}$$ you know $$x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})$$

satellite73 · Answer
