WILL GIVEN MEDAL!!!

according to the diagram, a surveyor is using a measuring instrument to calculate the height of a building, which trigonometric ratio is equal to C/B in the diagram?

A. tanC
B. tanB
C. sinC
D. sinB
E. cosC

Answer 1

Wait, what the sides specifically? Like AC... etc

Answer 2

tan C is AB/AC

Answer 3

the ratio has to be equal to \[\frac{ c }{ b }\]

Answer 4

it doesnt say what the sides equal

Answer 5

Side c is usally opposite angle C so I think c = AB

Answer 6

line AC is b and line AB is c

Answer 7

that is all it says

Answer 8

ok then tan C is c/b

Answer 9

Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent

Answer 10

Yeah @Valpey was correct, tanC is the answer

Answer 11

SOH CAH TOA

Answer 12

okay, would you mind explaining a little further?@Valpey

Answer 13

That is just the definition of the tangent of an angle. it is the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent side in a right triangle.

Answer 14

oh okay!:)

Answer 15

thank you!!

Answer 16

you bet
