Find the measure of tan w=19.0811 to the nearest tenth

Question

 Not sure how to do this problem. Tan + opp/adj, I know 

Answer 1

Kim, you are given the value of tan w , that is 19.0811 . You are asked to determine the value of the argument w or simply said, the value of angles w that satisfy the trigonometric equation. Sometimes we are required to provide only the smallest angle.

 

w = tan^-1 (19.0811) = 86.9999 = 87.0 answered to the nearest tenth .
