theta = ATAN(12/sqrt(12^2 + 35^2)) = 16.8 deg. ANS.

tanθ =12/35 θ = tan⁻¹(12/35) ≈ 18.92464°

// The definition of tangent is opposite over adjacent (see diagram below) .............12" tan x = ------ .............35" .................12" x = tan‾¹ (------) .................35" x ≈ 18.9° (rounded).............ANS

tan(A) = 12/35 = 0.342857142857, so A=arctan(0.342857142857) =.330297354829 radians. Multiply by 180/pi get A=18.924644416°.

tan(a) = 35/12 a = arctan(35/12) a = 71.075355583948765217719858916516.... 71 degrees
