Use a calculator to approximate each value in decimal degrees.
θ = arctan 1.7804675

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Recognize that the problem asks for the angle \( \theta \) such that \( \tan(\theta) = 1.7804675 \). This means \( \theta = \arctan(1.7804675) \).
Recall that the arctangent function, \( \arctan(x) \), gives the angle whose tangent is \( x \), and the result is typically in radians or degrees depending on the calculator settings.
Set your calculator to degree mode since the problem asks for the angle in decimal degrees.
Use the calculator's arctangent function (often labeled as \( \tan^{-1} \) or \( \arctan \)) and input the value \( 1.7804675 \) to find \( \theta \).
The calculator will provide the approximate value of \( \theta \) in decimal degrees, which is the solution to the problem.
