Find the value of x in the triangle. round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree. show your work. i already know the hypotenuse is 17, but what is the value of x? i'm really confused, any is appreciated!

61.9°

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Then in your triangle, you have ..

tan(x°) = 15/8

x° = arctan(15/8) ≈ 61.9°

"arctan(...)" can be read as "the angle whose tangent is ..." The calculator function that gives this value is often a "2nd" function, overlaid on the key that gives you the tangent. It may be labeled tan⁻¹.

if you was gonna solve for a, a is a   < -12
