Question:

Suppose we have a right angled triangle ABC with height AB=3 unit and base BC=4 unit. Let the angle ACB be x and the angle BAC equals to y. Then answer the following:

x is equal to

Options:

$\tan^{-1}(1/2)$

$\tan^{-1}(1/3)$

$\tan^{-1}(3/4)$

$\tan^{-1}(4/3)$

Correct Answer:

$\tan^{-1}(3/4)$

Explanation:

$\tan x=AB/BC=3/4$.

Hence $x=\tan^{-1}(3/4)$
