Since we need an angle measure we have to use an inverse trig ratio, sin^-1, cos^-1, or tan^-1.
Setting up the right triangle we have the opposite and adjacent so we use tan.
tan angle = 28/32
tan^-1 (28/32) = 41 degrees

What is the value of x?
dimulka [17.4K]
Hi there!

To find x, we'll need to proceed methodically. First, we'll start by finding the length of ST. The 30-60-90 relationship tells us that ST = 2. Then, we can find RT, also using the 30-60-90 relationship. RT = 4. Lastly, we can use the 45-45-90 relationship to determine that x = 4.

Hope this helps!! :)
