Answer:
32°
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the trig function relating angles to the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
The side opposite the angle x is shown as having measure 5; the side adjacent has measure 8. Putting all this in the above equation gives ...
tan(x) = 5/8
To find the angle from the value of the tangent, you use the inverse of the tangent function. The name of that is the <em>arctangent</em> function. It is often written as tan⁻¹(x) and often accessible on your calculator using a "second function" key. Some calculators, like the one shown in the attachment, recognize the arctan function name.
x = arctan(5/8) ≈ 32°
The value of x rounded to the nearest whole degree is 32°.
