Answer:

70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

there are multiple ways, as all the trigonometric functions are related.

let's try it this way :

consider the missing side to be the radius of a circle.

then 41 would be the cos value of the angle (multiplied by that radius, of course).

so, let's calculate the missing side per Pythagoras

c² = a² + b² = 113² + 41² = 12769 + 1681 = 14450

c = 120.21

and now

41 = cos(?) × 120.21

cos(?) = 41/120.21 = 0.341...

? = 70.0576... ≈ 70 degrees

Answer:

70°

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent θ = (opposite side / adjacent side)

tangent θ = (113 / 41)

θ = arctan (113 / 41)

θ = 70.0576°

*Note: "arctan" is the same as "inverse tangent"

**Note: "soh-cah-toa" (and "cho-sha-cao" for sec, csc, & cot) is an easy mnemonic device to remember the trig functions (sin, cos, & tan) and their relations to the sides of a given angle.
