n in both the triangles apply tanA= perpendicular/base...

Directrix (directrix):

The tangent of an acute angle of a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg. Note that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is not a leg. In the first problem, tan(A) = 17/21 tan(A) = .8095238 approx Angle A = 38.99 degrees ------------ Be sure your calculator is set to degrees. Your task is to crank out the second problem and post the solution here for checking. Okay? @HeyImKae

Directrix (directrix):

tan(A) = .88235294117647059

Directrix (directrix):

Here's angle A ^^ Use your calculator or the Google calculator.

Directrix (directrix):

The second one. Tangent of angle A is the length of the opposite leg over the length of the adjacent leg. Tan(A) = 15/8

Directrix (directrix):

1.875 = 15/8 but that is not A.

Directrix (directrix):

Tan A = 1.875 We have to use a calculator.
