Question

Solve the following problem for the angle x?

Answer 1

`x=8.91^@`
or
`x=.155` Radians

Explanation:

To find this angle, you use the two sides you are given, 165 and 1053.

Look at where the angle x is. The two given lengths are opposite and adjacent sides.

Using the SOH CAH TOA Rule, you can see that the two sides fit in with the Tangent function.

`tanx=165/1053`

Recall that here you must use the `arctan` function.

`x=arctan(165/1053)`

This gives

`x=8.91^@`
or
`x=.155` Radians
