Question

Which equation describes the tangent function for a right triangle?

A.
`tan(`

B.
`tan(`

C.
`tan(`

D.
`tan(`

"Theta" is θ

Answer 1

The correct answer is B

Step-by-step explanation

Recall the mnemonics; SOH CAH TOA

The TOA is the tangent ratio which means,

T-means Tangent

O-means Opposite

A-means Adjacent

Therefore the tangent function for a right triangle is

`\tan\theta=(Opposite)/(Adjacent)`

See diagram in attachment

Hence the correct answer is option B
