SOH CAH TOA Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

looks like you have plenty of help on this one :)

8/6 not 6/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@stacy.reed08 Thanks. Which one does 8/6 match?

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

cosine?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, look at the definitions I made. Which number is the hypotenuse of the triangle? That number doesn't appear in 8/6. So it can't be ___ or ___

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Now you know 10 is hypotenuse. And 8/6 doesn't have 10 in it. So which two options have hypotenuse in them? It can't be those.

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

tan?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea, so it has to be a tan. Okay. Tan = Opposite/Adjacent = 8/6 Which angle has the 8 opposite to it and 6 next to it? A or C?

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good. So the answer is: C. Tan A. :)
