What is the angle (in degrees) north of east from the post office to the grocery store in centralburg?
2 answers:
Using the SOH CAH TOA method:
Definitions:
SOH means Sine = Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse.
CAH means Cosine = Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse.
TOA means Tangent = Opposite ÷ Adjacent.
Solution:
Given:
Opposite side = 4 blocks
Adjacent side = 3 blocks
Unknown angle ∅
Calculation:
We can find ∅ using TOA rule:
Tan∅ = Opposite ÷ Adjacent
Tan∅ = 4 ÷ 3
Tan∅ = 1.33
∅ = Tan⁻¹ (1.33)
∅ = 53.13°
