Please help!!! Find the tangent ratio of angle Θ. Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar, and enter the fraction with no spaces.
largely depends on the angle \(\theta\)
\[\tan(\theta)=\frac{\text{opposite }}{\text{adjacent}}\]
let me know what you get, don't think too hard
I don't get it ):
? better call on wiz one through six! what is the length of the side of the right triangle opposite the angle \(\theta\) ??
just read it off of the picture |dw:1409711262328:dw|
hahaha, youre still with that joke? what ah loser :P
hey at least i remember, plus, i know what an opposite side is!
op : 15 ?
yes
adjacent?
hint, it is not the hypotenuse
was that sarcastic? lol
well not really it occurred to me that both 8 and 17 are technically adjacent to the angle, but you want the leg, not the hypotenuse
so that angle?
and therefore \[\tan(\theta)=\frac{15}{8}\] done
now i hope \[\tan(\theta)=\frac{\text{opposite }}{\text{adjacent}}\]makes more sense
the answer will remain a fraction? I mean it makes sense, I just thought there was more to it.
no that is all i guess you could use a calculator to get a decimal, but the question says us / as a fraction bar, so they don't want a decimal, they want 15/8
Youre great (:
