are there choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the value of \[\tan x^{0}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 8 divided by 6 b. 6 divided by 10 c. 10 divided by 6 d. 8 divided by 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

Well first off every right Triangle must be = to 180 so We already have a 90+ 45+45 = 180

OpenStudy (ajanijones):

The angle of x is 45.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you have the 90 60 30 triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@heather_theginger could you please explain how you figured out that it is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you have time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@peachpi Do you understand this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan x = opposite/adjacent What are the length of these sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking wrong it is A. because SOHCAHTOA sine = opposite/hypotenuse cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse and tangent = opposite/adjacent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

adjacent = 6? opposite = 8? hypotenuse = 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep. so tan x = 8/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You got that by the adjacent and the opposite?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome. As long as you label the triangles you'll be ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to give you both metals... but I can't @heather_theginger @peachpi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's cool you gave me a medal so I gave @peachpi one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you :) because you both helped me...
