Question

Need help with this

Answer 1

Answer:

23 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use basic trigonometric equations to solve for the angle x because we are given a right triangle.

I will use the sin x = opposite / hypotenuse

sin x = 5 / 13

x = sin^-1 (5 / 13)

x = 22.61986 degrees

The question requires us to round to the nearest degree which is 23.

Other alternative methods you can use include the tangent and cosine functions or the law of cosines.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 23°

Step-by-step explanation:

I will use

$tanx=opposite/adjacent$

$tanx=\frac{5}{12}$

$x=tan^{-1} (\frac{5}{12} )=tan^{-1} (0.417)=22.62^{o}$

rounded to the nearest degree : 23°

Hope this helps
