Answer 1

When it comes to triangles:
\[tangent(x) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}\]
Where 'x' is the given angle, in this case, F.

Answer 2

so wouldnt that be 17/15?

Answer 3

Nope, the hypotenuse isn't the opposite side. It's the hypotenuse.
tan(F) = opposite side/side next to it

Answer 4

so 15/17?

Answer 5

No. .-. We don't use 17, that's the length of the hypotenuse, the longest side.
When I talk about opposite and adjcaent side, I'm talking about the shorter sides of the triangle.
