Question

Instructions: Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest

Answer 1

To find the indicated angle, we can use one of the three main trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, or tangent.

Remember: SOH-CAH-TOA

Looking from the angle, we know the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. Therefore, we should use cosine to solve.

cos(x) = 12/36

x = cos^-1(12/36)

x = 71 degrees
