Question

The figure shows a right triangle.

A right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units. The angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. The angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

What is p ÷ r equal to?
Answer

sin y°

cos x°

tan x°

tan y°

Answer 1

tan Y

Answer 2

\[\tan (\theta) = adjacent side \div opposite side\] P is adjacent side to angle Y. and r is the opposite side to angle Y

hence p/r = tan Y
