A right triangle with side lengths of 5 and 14 and inside x degrees.
18 degrees
21 degrees
22 degrees
To find the value of x, we can use the trigonometric function tangent (tan).
tan(x) = opposite / adjacent
tan(x) = 5 / 14
Using a scientific calculator, we can take the arctan (inverse tangent) of both sides to find the value of x.
x = arctan(5 / 14) ≈ 18 degrees (rounded to the nearest degree).
Therefore, the value of x is approximately 18 degrees.
