Find the missing value to the nearest hundredth.
tan (?) = 15
I believe the answer is 86.19
if you need the answer choices I can provide them. Im stuck on how to solve
sounds right, if you want your angle in degrees.
Oh, tan(?) = 15? That's a bit tricky since there's no angle that has a tangent of exactly 15. It's like trying to find a parking spot in a crowded clown car - it's just not gonna happen!
To find the missing value, we can use the inverse tangent function, also known as arctan or atan. The arctan function takes an input value and returns an angle in radians whose tangent is the input value.
To find the angle whose tangent is 15, we can use the arctan function.
Plug in the given value into the arctan function: atan(15)
The result is approximately 1.1071 radians.
To convert to degrees, multiply by 180/π (pi): 1.1071 * 180/π
The result is approximately 63.43 degrees.
Therefore, the missing value, to the nearest hundredth, is 63.43.
Degrees:
θ = tan -¹ ( 15 )
θ = 86.18592516571°
θ ≈ 86.19°
Radians:
θ = tan -¹ ( 15 )
θ = 1.504228163
θ ≈ 1.50
