Question

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 40.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan x = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{WX}{VW}$ = $\frac{57}{68}$ , then

x = $tan^{-1}$ ($\frac{57}{68}$ ) ≈ 40.0° ( to the nearest tenth )
