Question

The tangent of an angle is 3.4. what is the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth?
A) 52.9

B) 99.8

C) 73.6

D) 68.2

Answer 1

73.610 is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is correct

the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth is, 73.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let angle of measure in degree be A

As per the statement:

The tangent of an angle is 3.4.

⇒$\tan A = 3.4$

Taking tan inverse both sides we have;

$A = \tan^{-1} (3.4)$

Simplify:

A= 73.61045967°

Therefore, the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth is, 73.6°
