Question

PLEASE HELP
For the right triangle below, find the measure of the angle.
Figure is not to scale.

Answer 1

use tan since you are given the opposite and adjacent sides

tan θ = $\frac{opp}{adj}$

tan θ = $\frac{2}{12}$

use the inverse of tan to find the angle

θ = $tan^{-1}(\frac{2}{12})$

θ = 9.462322208...

θ = 9.46°
