Question

Find the tangent of each angle that is not the right angle. Drag and drop the numbers into the boxes to show the tangent of each angle.

Answer 1

`\tan \angle A`=
`1.33`

`\tan \angle B` =
`0.75`

Explanation:

Given:

`\triangle ABC` is a right triangle.

`\angle ACB = 90\°`

To find:

`\tan \angle A`

`\tan \angle B`

We know that tangent of an angle is given by the ratio=
`(Opposite\ side)/(Adjacent\ side)`

The opposite side and adjacent side is taken with respect to the angle for which the tangent is to be found.

`\tan \angle A`=
`(BC)/(AC)=(4)/(3)=1.33`

`\tan \angle B`=
`(AC)/(BC)=(3)/(4)=0.75`
