In the triangle below, what is tan F?

|dw:1375466270505:dw|

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so hope that you know tan = sin / cos yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. SOH CAH TOA.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

and sin = opposite side divide hypothenuse and cos = adjacent side / hypothenuse using this you can getting easy tan F

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

TOA => tangent =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be...e/f?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

opposite side to an angle is always the side that's facing it off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

e/f not is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My options are: a. D/E b. F/E c. D/F d. E/F But I guess d is out now...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1375466657717:dw| The opposite is on the complete "opposite" side of the triangle. Tangent(angle) = opposite/adjacent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be f/e?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, you basically had them switched.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome, thank you very much.
