Answer 2

tan(x) = 6/11

tan⁻¹(6/11) = 28.6° answer//

Answer 3

Smallest angle is opposite smallest side and it is arctan(6/11) = 28.6 degrees to the nearest tenth

Answer 4

Units are [''].

Legs are AC = b = 11 and AB = c = 6.

a^2 = b^2 + c^2, ie., a^2 = 11^2 + 6^2 = 157.

Clearly, the smallest angle in the triangle will be

opposite the smaller arm which is c.

Law of cosines gives c^2 = a^2+b^2-2ab*cos(C).

ie., cos(C) = (a^2+b^2-c^2)/2ab.

Here, cos(C) = (157+121-36)/[2*11rt157] =

121/(11rt157) = (11/rt157) = 0.8778955729 and

C = arccos (0.8778955729) = 28.61045967°

= 28.6° to nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer 6

tan(t) = 6/11

t = arctan(6/11)
