Question

What is tanC ?

Express your answer as a simplified fraction.

Answer 1

Answer: Tan(C) = 1/2

Explanation:

For a triangle rectangle, we have the relation, for an angle θ.

Tan(θ) = Opposite cathetus/Adjacent catethus.

Here, the opposite cathetus to C is equal to 11 units

The adjacent cathetus to C is 22 units.

Then we have Tan(C) = 11/22 = 1/2

and we can not simplify it anymore, so this is the answer.

Answer 2

tan C = 1/2

Explanation:

The tan function in a right triangle is the opposite side over the adjacent side

tan C = 11/22

We can divide the top and bottom by 11

tan C = 1/2
