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

OpenStudy (georgiansteele):

can someone please help me

OpenStudy (foxesrcool):

Welcome to OpenStudy!

OpenStudy (foxesrcool):

I need the angle to answer.

OpenStudy (georgiansteele):

thanks:)

OpenStudy (georgiansteele):

oh yeah i forgot, one second

OpenStudy (foxesrcool):

lol

OpenStudy (georgiansteele):

OpenStudy (foxesrcool):

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:/

OpenStudy (welshfella):

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?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

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

OpenStudy (snowflakelove15):

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