Please help! I have no clueee!

Answer 1

Using Pythagorean theorem we can find AC:

`AC = √(12^2-6^2) = √(108) = 6√(3)`

In right triangle, the tangent is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. This is:

tan 60 = opposite side / adjacent side

tan 60 = 6√3 / 6

tan 60 = √3
