Answer:

tan=0.75

Explanation:

We know sin=opp/hyp, so 21 is the opposite side length in relation to theta.

To figure out tan, we need to know what the adjacent angle is because tan=opp/adj

21 squared= 441

35 squared =1225

1225-441= 784

The square root of 784 = 28

Now that we know both the opp and adj sides, we can solve for tan.

21/28= 0.75
