Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are given a right-angled triangle , where:
We need to find correct to one decimal place.
Since the triangle is right-angled at , we can use trigonometric ratios to find . The tangent of angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
Substituting the values:
Now, let's calculate this and find the angle .The angle is approximately , correct to one decimal place.
Let me know if you need further details or clarifications.
Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- How would you find using the information given?
- What is the sine of based on the triangle's dimensions?
- How can you calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem?
- What other trigonometric ratio could you use to find ?
- How would you solve for if only the hypotenuse was given?
Tip: Always remember to check that your calculator is in the correct mode (degrees or radians) when working with angles!
