Question

(07.02 MC) Find the measure of angle x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (please type the numerical answer only)

Answer 1

Figure definitely not to scale.

That's the 3/4/5 right triangle and we're after the larger of the acute angles, opposite 4.   AP physics calls that angle 53 degrees, but that's really an approximation.

x = arcsin(4/5) = 53.13 degrees

Answer: 53.13

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 53.13°

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the angle x in the figure we use sine

sin ∅ = opposite / hypotenuse

From the question

The hypotenuse is 5

The opposite is 4

So we have

sin x = 4/5

x = sin-¹ 4/5

x = 53.1301

x = 53.13° to the nearest hundredth

Hope this helps you
