Question

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

Triangle ABC is shown. AB measures 12. BC measures 13. CA measures 5. The angle formed at point C is marked theta, and angle A is the right angle.

Answer for Blank 1:

Answer 1

Hello and welcome to QuestionCove!

Give me a minute to read your question - do you have a picture that goes along with your question?

Answer 2

yea hold on

Answer 3

Great! This is the idea we will be using:

Answer 4

just use the law of sin for angle theta

Answer 5

@jhonyy9 they are looking for tan(theta) using opposite over adjacent

Answer 6

I doubt they have learned law of sine at this point

Answer 7

\(tan (\theta)=\large \frac{opposite}{adjacent}\)

Answer 8

ok but then you read the text of posted image there talk about sin ratio

Answer 9

so what do I do about the opposite and adjacent

Answer 10

ah I see what jhonyy9 means

@Nirmala2005 , your picture is asking for sine while your question post is asking for tangent

Answer 11

Oh i probably uploaded the wrong picture

Answer 12

awesome, so I have labeled the opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse for us.

so using this formula
\(tan (\theta)=\large \frac{opposite}{adjacent}\)

what might your answer / fraction be?

Answer 13

Maybe 12/5

Answer 14

you got it!

Answer 15

Oh okay!

Answer 16

Thank you
