Question

What is the value of a ? (Round your answer to the nearest degree .)

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 32.28°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given right triangle,

Opposite side = 12

Adjacent side = 19

By applying tangent rule in the given triangle,

tan(a°) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

tan(a°) = $\frac{12}{19}$

a = $\text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{12}{19})$

a = 32.28°
