Question

Angle K in △MKL is a right angle.

What is the value of tan M ?


15/17

8/17

8/15

15/8

Answer 1

tan M = 15 / 8

answer
15/8

Answer 2

Given that, In triangle MKL, angle K is a right angle.

To find the value of tan M,

As we know by trigonometric ratio, that In a right angled triangle

`tan (\theta)= (opposite )/(Adjacent)`

Here Opposite means opposite side of the angle and adjacent means side adjacent to the angle.

So,
`tan M= (KL)/(KM) = (15)/(8)`

Hence, Value of
`tan M = (15)/(8)` .

Option D is the correct solution.
