Question

What is the value of tanX?

possible answers:
8/9
9/8
8/15
15/8

Answer 1

\[\rm sin \rm \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse }~~~~ \cos \theta = \frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse } ~~\tan \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ adjacent }\]

Answer 2

first apply Pythagorean theorem to find 3rd side

Answer 3

8/17 ?? @Nnesha

Answer 4

tan = opposite over adjacent
so nope 17 is a hypotenuse

Answer 5

hypotenuse is the longest side
