Question

Enter the trigonometric equation you would use to solve for x in the following right triangle. Do not solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

$tan^{-1}(\frac{7}{24} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle length of the legs have been given as 7 and 24 units

We have to form the equation to solve for x.

We will apply tan in the given triangle

tanx = $\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}$

tanx = $\frac{7}{24}$

So x = $tan^{-1}(\frac{7}{24} )$

Therefore, x =  $tan^{-1}(\frac{7}{24} )$

Answer 2

Angle x = arc tangent (7 / 24)
Angle x = arc tangent ( 0.291666666...)
