Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given right angle triangle,
The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle is the unknown side.
With m∠x as the reference angle,
the adjacent side of the right angle triangle is 17
the opposite side of the right angle triangle is 16
To determine x, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan x = 16/17 = 1.0625
x = Tan^-1(0.941)
x = 43.3° to the nearest tenth.
