Answer :

Given:

Given that the two legs of the triangle are 3 and 4.

The one of the angles of the triangle is x.

We need to determine the measure of x.

Measure of x:

The measure of x can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;

[tex]tan \ x=\frac{opp}{adj}[/tex]

where the side opposite to the angle x is 4 and the side adjacent to the angle x is 3.

Substituting these values, we get;

[tex]tan \ x=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

[tex]tan \ x=1.33[/tex]

     [tex]x=tan^{-1}(1.33)[/tex]

     [tex]x=53.06[/tex]

Rounding off to the nearest degree, we get;

[tex]x=53^{\circ}[/tex]

Thus, the measure of x is 53°
