SOLUTION: Use a table of trigonometric values to find the angle θ in the right triangle in the following problem. Round to the nearest degree, if necessary. tan θ = ?

Question 301458: Use a table of trigonometric values to find the angle θ in the right triangle in the following problem. Round to the nearest degree, if necessary.
tan θ = ? O = 9 A = 15
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

I have to presume (because you didn't specify) that O stands for the Opposite Side and A stands for the Adjacent Side.

On that basis, remember that the tangent function is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side, hence:

You can go find your own table of trig values but the calculator says:

degrees.
