Question

Expressed answers As reduced fraction. Find the trig value.
Tan A=

Answer 1

The value of tan A: 40/9

i.e.

tan A = 40/9

Explanation:

Given

Hypotenuse = 41

To determine

m ∠ A = ?

Using the trigonometric ratio

tan A = opposite / adjacent

Here:

• Opposite of m ∠ A = 40

• Adjacent of m ∠ A = 9

Thus, substituting opposite = 40 and adjacent = 0 in the equation

tan A = opposite / adjacent

tan A = 40/9

Therefore, the value of tan A: 40/9

i.e.

tan A = 40/9
