Question

Geo help plz!!!

Answer 1

Find the tangent ratio of angle Θ. Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar, and enter the fraction with no spaces.

Answer 2

Is there no picture or more data?

Answer 3

Ya 2 sec :)

Answer 4

Any guess? You just need the definition of tangent to solve this.

Answer 5

No im actually lost on this one im not good with this formula

Answer 7

Tangent Function:
tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent

Answer 8

So what should be the answer?

Answer 9

45 degrees ?

Answer 10

tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
From the above equation θ is the angle (for example 45 degrees)
Opposite / Adjacent are length (for example 3cm and 5cm)

Answer 11

( / ) this is the type of solution you are looking. It will be ( length / length )

Answer 12

so length/length = 17/17?

Answer 13

From the point of view of θ angle:
- which is the opposite side
- which is the adjacent side
- which is the hypotenuse?

Answer 14

17 = hypotenuse
15 = opposite
x = adjacent

Answer 15

17 = hypotenuse
15 = opposite
8 = adjacent

Answer 16

There is no x here

Answer 17

Oh srry

Answer 18

tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
15 = opposite
8 = adjacent

Thus
tan(θ) = (15/8)

Answer 19

So the answer is 15/8 ?

Answer 20

Yes

Answer 21

thnks!!!!!
