To solve this trig problem, we can use the definition of the tangent function. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side.
In this case, we are given that the opposite side is 14 and the adjacent side is 29. Therefore, we have:
tan(x) = opposite/adjacent
tan(x) = 14/29
To find the value of x, we can take the inverse tangent (arctan) of both sides:
x = arctan(14/29)
Using a calculator, we can find that x is approximately 26.84 degrees.
Solve this trig problem. The image shows a right triangle. the adjacent is 29 and the opposite is 14. The angle where the hypotenuse and adjacent connect is x.
