Splitting the rectangle in half creates two right triangles

The value of tan(x) is 4/3

<h3>How to determine the value of tan x?</h3>

To calculate tan(x), we make use of the following tangent ratio

tan(x) = Opposite/Adjacent

From the figure, we have:

Opposite = AD = 4

Adjacent = CD = 3

So, we have:

tan(x) = 4/3

Hence, the value of tan(x) is 4/3

If you look from the points at angle 73, to 42, to 131, to z, the shape makes a quadrilateral.
Since the total of the interior angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360 you make an equation:

360 = 131 + 73 + 42 + 7 + x
Re-arrange the equation to get the x alone, by subtracting:
360 - 131 - 73 - 42 = x
114 = x

So x = 114 degrees<span />
