Which is the degree measure of an angle whose tangent is 1.19? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Sagot :

We know that:

[tex]\tan\theta=1.19[/tex]

where theta is the angle we are trying to find; to get the angle we take the inverse tangent at both sides of the equation. Then:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan^{-1}(\tan\theta)=\tan^{-1}1.19 \\ \theta=50 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the angle we are looking for is 50°
