Tangents help, is this correct??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the value of tangent A be 8/6??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Opposite/adjacent right?

hartnn (hartnn):

opposite side is what ? 8 or 6 ?

hartnn (hartnn):

opposite to A ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tangent = opposite/adjacent So first A = 8 and then adjacent to 8 is 6. So 8/6 would be correct?

hartnn (hartnn):

Tangent = opposite/adjacent yes correct opposite side = 6 adjacent side = 8 tan A = 6/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you I'm confused about this one though. Would it still be the same? Because this one is for Tan B.. would you change sides or leave it 8/6?

hartnn (hartnn):

opposite of B is 8 adjacent of angle B is 6 so it'll be tan B = 8/6

Thank you : )

welcome ^_^
