<u>Trigonometry</u>
- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] tanθ = opposite over adjacent
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Identify Variables</u>
Angle θ = <em>x</em>°
Opposite Leg = 10
Hypotenuse = 21
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute [tangent]: tanx° = 10/21
- Inverse trig: x° = tan⁻¹(10/21)
- Evaluate: x = 25.4633°
- Round: x ≈ 25.5°
