Question

Can someone explain this

Answer 1

Answer:   28

=========================================================

Explanation:

Let x be the unknown angle we want to find. This angle is in degrees.

The diagram shows 19 is the opposite of this angle, and the side 35 is adjacent to the angle.

We use the tangent ratio to tie the two sides together

$\tan(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\\\\\tan(x) = \frac{19}{35}\\\\x = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{19}{35}\right)\\\\x \approx 28.4956386\\\\x \approx 28$

Note: The notation $\tan^{-1}$ refers to the inverse tangent, or arctangent.
