Solve for $x$. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given values
We are given a right triangle SQR, with angle R being the right angle. We are given the side opposite to angle _x_ (SR) which has length 34 and the side adjacent to angle _x_ (SQ) with length 48. We need to find the value of angle _x_.
Step 2: Choose the correct trigonometric ratio
Since we have the lengths of the opposite side and the adjacent side to angle _x_, we will use the tangent ratio:
