Answer 1

) 

tanx = 3/10 
x=16.7 B 

2) 

tan 64 = 173/x 

x = 84.38 D 

3) 

tan21 = x/442 
x= 169.67 B 

4) 

tanx = 16.2/48.3 
x = 18.54 A 


5) 

tanx = 8/6.5 
x = 50.91 C 


6) 
tan89 = 1149/x 
x=20.06 A 

7) 
tanx = 21/12 
x= 60.26 B 

8) B 

9) 
tanx = 25/63 
x = 21.64 C 

10) 
tanx = 60/15 
x= 75.96 D

Answer 2

Tanx = 8/6.5 
x = 50.91
