Question

Use triangle abc to find the value of tan A please help I posted the picture with the problem so lost please help

Answer 1

The formula for tangent is,

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

In the given triangle ABC, BC is the opposite side and AC is the adjacent side. So,

`tan A=(BC)/(AC)`

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

So, C is the correct choice.

Answer 2

The given triangle is a right triangle which is right angled at angle C.

For angle A the adjacent side is AC,the opposite side is BC while hypotenuse is AB .In the given triangle adjacent =24 ,opposite =7 and hypotenuse =25.

Tan of any angle is the ratio of opposite and adjacent .

Tan =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)`

Tan A=
`(7)/(24)`
