Use the image to answer the question.

A right triangle. The right angle is on the bottom left. The hypotenuse slopes downward, left to right. The theta symbol is inside the angle at the bottom right. The opposite side is 2 centimeters, the adjacent side is 5 centimeters

Use the inverse of the tangent ratio to find the approximate measure of the missing angle. Round your answer to the nearest whole degree.

tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent = 2/5 = 0.4, so θ = arctan(0.4) ≈ 21.8°.
Rounded to the nearest degree: θ ≈ 22°.
