Answer

$15^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

To find the value of $\theta$, we need to substitute the value of $x=3$ in the equation and solve; $\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{x^{2}+2})$ $\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{3}{3^{2}+2})$ $\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{3}{9+2})$ $\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{3}{11})$ $\theta=15.3\approx15^{\circ}$
