Question

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth. tan x° = 3.5 0.1 74.1 74.5

Answer 1

The answer is 74.1 degrees. :)

Answer 2

The equation given to us is:

$tan x{\circ} = 3.5$

To find the angle $x{\circ}$ all that we need to do is either use a calculator or a table and find the corresponding value.

This will give:

$x^{\circ}=tan^{-1}(3.5)=74.1^{\circ}$

Thus the required value of $x$ in degrees is $74.1^{\circ}$

Out of the given options, the second option is the correct one.
