what is the tangent ratio for

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

|dw:1435093915953:dw|

OpenStudy (freckles):

is H the same as h?

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

yes

OpenStudy (freckles):

ok do you know what side is not touching angle H (this is the opposite side) what measurement does this side have?

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

5?

OpenStudy (freckles):

yes the opposite side measurement is 5 now we just need to identify the adjacent side and it's measurement

OpenStudy (freckles):

the adjacent side is the side touching the angle (that isn't the hyp)

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

12?

OpenStudy (freckles):

that is right

OpenStudy (freckles):

now you just put your opp/adj and you have your tangent ratio

OpenStudy (freckles):

for angle h that is :)

OpenStudy (freckles):

or H

OpenStudy (freckles):

since H=h

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

do i do 5/12

OpenStudy (freckles):

yep

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

it says 0.4166666667

OpenStudy (freckles):

I would leave it as just 5/12

OpenStudy (freckles):

are you suppose to round it ?

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

oh 5/12 is the answer lol

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

no lol

OpenStudy (freckles):

yes we already found the tangent of angle h earlier it look like you were trying to round the answer

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

Thank you!(: can u help me with one more?

OpenStudy (freckles):

maybe

OpenStudy (freckles):

:p

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

i thought u were telling me to divide the two lol

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

sorry got confused but the answer is 5/12

OpenStudy (freckles):

well 5/12 is a fraction or a division of 5 by 12 but 5/12 is as pretty as the answer will come for that one since it is a repeating decimal

OpenStudy (freckles):

but anyways what is your other qustion

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

yeah i see that now thanks

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

it is triangle ABC, AB= 3 and AC=9. Find M<B to the nearest degree.

OpenStudy (freckles):

is this another right triangle?

OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):
