Find the tangent ratio of angle Θ. Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar, and enter the fraction with no spaces.

Well...I would think if you need an angle, you should measure he other angles first.
OpenStudy (foxesrcool):
I have no idea what a tangent angle is.
OpenStudy (georgiansteele):
me neither:/

do you know about trig ratios? sine, cosine and tangent?
OpenStudy (georgiansteele):
yes
OpenStudy (welshfella):
what they require is the tangent of angle Θ which you can get from the diagram.
OpenStudy (welshfella):
tan = opposite side / adjacent side
OpenStudy (georgiansteele):
isn't Θ 37 degrees?

how do you get that? They dont want the value of the angle - just its tangent.
OpenStudy (welshfella):
check the diagram :- what is the measure of the side opposite angle Θ?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
are you still there?
OpenStudy (georgiansteele):
yeah, i understand it now. thank you
OpenStudy (welshfella):
good yw

tan o = opp./adj. tan o = 15/8
tan o = 1.875
