Question

What is the value of x to the nearest degree?
a) 24
b) 42
c) 48
d) 84

Answer 1

Hint: Use tangent to solve for x

Answer 2

tan(x)=11/10?

Answer 3

correct, and then to solve for x, we have to the inverse of tan and plug it into a calculator. Make sure you're in degrees and not radians. :)

Answer 4

so it would be \[\tan^{-1} (0.019)\]

Answer 5

umm no

tan (x) = y

\(\sf tan^{-1}~ y = x\)

you need to plug in 1.1 or 11/10 with the inverse of tan to solve for the angle :)
