Answer:

tan(x) =
(4)/(3)

Explanation:

Given that a rectangle ABCD,

Length of side AB = 3

Length of side BC = 4

Length of diagonal AC = 5

In case of rectangle

AB = AD = 4

and

AB = CD = 3

In triangle ΔADC,

∠ACD = x


tan(x)=(opposite)/(adjacent)


tan(x)=(AD)/(CD)


tan(x)=(4)/(3)

That's the final answer.
