Sagot :

We have the following right triangle

We can relate the two legs with the unknown angle (x) by means of the tangent function, that is,

[tex]\tan x=\frac{\text{ opposite side to angle x}}{\text{ adjacent side to angle x}}=\frac{9}{21}[/tex]

So, Would you use SINE, COSINE or TANGENT to solve the missing side? Answer: SINE and COSINE

Because they both relate one leg with the hypotenuse.

Now, let's find the missing angle. From our last equation

[tex]\tan x=\frac{9}{21}=0.42857[/tex]

by applying the inverse function to both sides, we have

[tex]x=\tan ^{-1}(0.42857)[/tex]

which gives

[tex]x=23.1985\text{ degre}es[/tex]

Then, by rounding to the nearest degree, the measure of the missing angle is 23 degrees
