OpenStudy (asad786):

@hero can you help me plz

hero (hero):

Explain what you think it the correct answer and why you think it is correct.

OpenStudy (asad786):

i dont know how to do it actually srry

hero (hero):

Open Study exists not for receiving answers but for learning concepts so that you know how to solve math problems for yourself.

OpenStudy (asad786):

yeah thats why i was asking if you could teach me how to do it or give a formula

hero (hero):

The formula for TAN(angle) is opposite side OVER the adjacent side.

hero (hero):

What is the length of the side opposite angle P?

OpenStudy (asad786):

6

OpenStudy (asad786):

or Q

hero (hero):

Q is an angle, not a side.

OpenStudy (asad786):

so 6

hero (hero):

What is the length of the side adjacent to P?

OpenStudy (asad786):

what does adjacent mean srry

OpenStudy (asad786):

oh so 10

hero (hero):

adjacent means "nearest to". In this case, its the side nearest to P that is NOT the hypotenuse side.

OpenStudy (asad786):

so it is 6 or 8

hero (hero):

When trying to figure out which sides are involved with tangent you always ignore the hypotenuse side.

OpenStudy (asad786):

ok

hero (hero):

6 is the side opposite P. 8 is the side adjacent to P.

OpenStudy (asad786):

oh ok

hero (hero):

So Tan(P) = 6/8 which reduces to what?

OpenStudy (asad786):

3/4

OpenStudy (asad786):

so thats the answer?

hero (hero):

Okay, great.

OpenStudy (asad786):

THX YOUR THE BEST

hero (hero):

You're welcome.

OpenStudy (asad786):

can i tag you if i need more help

hero (hero):

Tag at your own risk. I have other projects to attend to.

OpenStudy (asad786):

OK
