Question

I have a given right triangle side a = 490 feet and side b = 960 how can i find angle a

Answer 1

(please correct me if this is the wrong setup)

if you want angle A, notice how you have the opposite side and the adjacent side, making the tan ratio appropriate here

tan(A) = a/b, plug in a and b and solve for A. you will need to take the arctan of both sides to eliminate the tan.

Answer 2

thanks i understand better now thanks
