If: tanx = 3/8 find X (3sf)
x=20.6 is the answer because you type Tan-1(3/8) in the calculator to get the answer because you are trying to get x by its self
The value of x is:
20.556 degrees.
We are asked to find the angle x such that we are given a tangent trigonometric function corresponding to the angle x as follows:
\(\tan x=\dfrac{3}{8}\)
Now, on taking inverse trigonometric function on both the sides of the equation we have:
\(x=\tan^{-1} \dfrac{3}{8}\)
This means that:
\(x=20.556\ \text{degrees}\)
