Question

Let Angle w be an acute angle. Use a calculator to approximate the me


arest tenth of a degree.


sin W = 0.79

Answer 1

Answer:

49.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trigonometry function as shown sin W = 0.79, to get W, the following steps must be followed.

Step 1: Take the arcsin of both sides of the equation

$sin^{-1}(sinW) = sin^{-1}0.79\\W = sin^{-1}0.79$

Step 2: Use a calculator to get the resulting value of W

$W = 49.46^{0}$

$W = 49.5^{0}$ (to nearest tenth of a degree)

This gives the acute angle needed.

Note that acute angle are angles that are less than 90°
