Solution:
Given:
To get angle x, we use the trigonometric ratio of tangent.
[tex]\begin{gathered} tan\theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\ \\ where; \\ \theta=x \\ opposite=4.25ft \\ adjacent=3ft \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]\begin{gathered} tan(x)=\frac{4.25}{3} \\ x=tan^{-1}(\frac{4.25}{3}) \\ x=54.782^0 \\ \\ To\text{ the nearest tenth,} \\ x=54.8^0 \end{gathered}[/tex]
