Question

Identify the correct trigonometry formula to use to solve for the given angle.

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want to figure out the measure of angle ?.

We already know that sides opposite and adjacent to the angle.

Therefore, we need to use tangent. Recall that tangent:

$\tan(?)=opp/adj$

Substitute 34 for the opposite and 48 for the adjacent:

$\tan(?)=34/48$

Divide (approximately):

$\tan(?)=0.71$

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

$?=\tan^{-1}(0.71)$

So, our answer is D

And we're done!
