Question

Which correctly expresses the ratio tan B?


(Points : 3)
Option A: AB/AC

Option B: AB/ BC

Option C: AC/AB

Option D: AC/BC

Answer 1

I'd like for you to type out the definition of the tangent function, so I'll know for certain that we're on the same wavelength.

Answer 2

is this flvs module 7?

Answer 3

@shinebrightlikeadimon i dont know

Answer 4

are you homeschooled?

Answer 5

yea

Answer 6

is this geometry?

Answer 7

yep

Answer 8

and what website do you use?

Answer 9

k12

Answer 10

ohh ok nvm i'm flvs so im going to check if i have it because i'm studying the same thing

Answer 11

okay

Answer 12

ok do you know the formula for tan?

Answer 13

opposite over adjacent

Answer 14

ok good now do you know how to like solve? and what to do?

Answer 15

not really i get confused

Answer 16

i honestly think it's AB/BC but you should just check with someone else cause i myself still earning this so i'm not great at this but i believe it's AB/BC

Answer 17

okay thanks

Answer 18

@Frostbite can you help

Answer 19

once you submitt the test please let me know if the answer i gave was correct or not :) thank you

Answer 20

I will

Answer 21

@caligirl27: Sorry for the delay in my getting back to you. Your response, earlier, was fine: the tangent function is defined as \[\tan x = \frac{ opp~side }{ adj~side}\]

Answer 22

Now look at the diagram, specifically, at angle B. Opposite angle B is the "opp side;" its length is not given, but we'll call it AC. Adjacent to Angle B is "adj side," which is AB.

Therefore, the tangent of Angle B, tan B, is\[\tan B=\frac{ opp }{ adj }= \frac{ AC }{ ?? }\] Can you finish this?

Answer 23

AC/ AB? @mathmale

Answer 24

AB?
