Question

Find the tangent of both angle A and angle B.

A. tan A = 5/13; tan B = 12/13
B. tan A = 12/13; tan B = 5/13
C. tan A = 5/12; tan B = 12/5
D. tan A = 12/5; tan B = 5/12

Answer 1

tangent is the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side.

For angle A, the side with length 10 is opposite (remember the ant!), and the side with length 24 is adjacent... it's next to angle A.
