Find the measure of angle x. round your answer to the nearest hundredth. ( type the numerical answer only)

a right triangle is shown with one leg measuring 8 and another leg measuring 15. an angle across from the leg measuring 8 is marked x degrees.

61.93°

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attachment for the diagram of triangle

tanx= 15/8

x= 61.93°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a pretty simple trig problem.  As long as you know SOH CAH TOA you should be fine.  The angle we want, x has an adjacet and opposite angle described.  Since it is across from the 8  length leg that is the opposite one, which means the to sides forming this x angle are the adjacent and the hypotenuse.  Since we have the other leg and not the hypotenuse we can use the TOA relationship.  so tan(x) = 8/15  Can you handle it from here?

Also important to note the trig functions only work like this because it is a right triangle.  But yeah, if there's something you don't understand let me know.
