Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 60.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan x = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{IJ}{HI}$ = $\frac{3.9}{2.2}$ , then

x = $tan^{-1}$ ($\frac{3.9}{2.2}$ ) ≈ 60.6° ( to the nearest tenth )
