5. Find the angle measure to the nearest degree. tan(W) = 19.0811
O 13 degrees
O 87 degrees
O 3 degrees
O 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan-1(19.0811) = 86.999994

That's about as close to 87 as you can get with 6 places of accuracy. The trick is knowing how to get the inverse tangent (tan-1(x) ), or maybe it is just knowing that you have to get it. The inverse tan starts with a decimal number that comes from the tangent definition Tan(theta) = opposite / adjacent.

So what you are starting with is the ratio for the Tangent and you are trying to find the angle theta. In this case, it is 87.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
