Answer 1

Answer 2

since we neither have nor need the value of the hypotenuse we have to use tan

tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent

from the perspective of angle <4 the opposite side is 4 and the adjacent side is 3

see if you can try plugging everything into the formula to solve for theta

Answer 3

Would the equation be tan(3) = x/4

Answer 4

close but not quite

theta is always going to be the angle, not the sides

so tan(theta) = 4/3 (opposite over adjacent)

you will need to take the arctan of both sides to get

theta = arctan(4/3)

Answer 5

I got 4.13 and thats not an answer choice for me

Answer 6

hm. arctan(4/3) gives me 53.13 degrees not 4.13, is that one of the choices?

Answer 7

Yeah but how?

Answer 8

there should be a button on your calculator that says tan^(-1) or arctan

or you can use an online calculator, type in arctan(4/3)

Answer 9

Oh I didn't do the arctan thing sorry
