Question

A ramp is 17 feet long, rises 8 feet above the floor, and covers a horizontal distance of 15 feet, as shown in the figure. The ratio of to is equal to tan B. NextReset

Answer 1

The ratio of sin b to cos b is equal to tan B.

Explanation:

Correct answer :)

Answer 2

see the drawing in an attachment

x distance=15
y distance= 8
hypotenuse=17
sinB=8/17
cosB=15/17
tanB=sinB/cosB
tanB=8/15
