TanX = SinX/CosX

TanX = 7/25 ÷ 24/25

Tanx = 7/25 * 25/24

TanX = 7/24...

Answer:

The ratio for tan x is:


(7)/(24)

Explanation:

We are given a value of the sine trignometric function as:


\sin x=(7)/(25)

and the cosine trignometric function is given by:


\cos x=(24)/(25)

We are asked to find the value of the tangent function.

We know that the tangent trignometric function is given by the formula:


\tan x=(\sin x)/(\cos x)

Hence, by putting the value of sine and cosine function in the formula we get:


\tan x=((7)/(25))/((24)/(25))\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\\tan x=(7)/(24)
