Question

Use ABC to find the value of tan A
a. 7/24
b. 25/24
c. 24/25
d. 7/25

Answer 1

A:
`\tan A = (7)/(24)`

Explanation:

The trignometric ratio for tan is:

`\tan \theta = (opposite)/(adjacent)`

The opposite side to angle A is BC which has a length of 7.

The adjacent side of the triangle is AC which has a length of 24

Hence,

`\tan A = (7)/(24)`

Answer 2

Answer: 7/24

Tan(theta)=y/x

tab(A)=7/24
