Q. Question 21ptsFind the angle measure. Round to the nearest tenth.tanx=1.16x=degrees(Enter your answer as a number with one decimal place.)
Understand the Problem: Understand the problem.We need to find the measure of an angle x whose tangent is 1.16. To do this, we will use the inverse tangent function, which is often denoted as tan−1 or arctan.
Use a Calculator: Use a calculator to find the angle.We will input the value into a calculator to find the angle whose tangent is 1.16. Make sure the calculator is set to degree mode since we want the answer in degrees.Calculation: x=arctan(1.16)
Round the Result: Round the result to the nearest tenth.After using the calculator, we get the angle measure. We then round this number to one decimal place as instructed.
Verify the Result: Verify the result.After rounding, we should check to make sure the calculator was indeed in degree mode and that we have correctly rounded the result to the nearest tenth.
