Question

If the sine of A is 3/5 sand the cosine of A 4/5 explain how to find the tangent of A

Answer 1

Answer: Since sine is defined as opposite over hypotenuse, the length of the opposite side is 3, and the length of the hypotenuse is 5. Since cosine is defined as adjacent over hypotenuse, the length of the adjacent side is 4. Tangent is the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side, so the tangent is 3/4.

Answer 2

we are given with two functions: sine of A equal to 3/5 and cosine A equal to 4/5. In this case, we are asked in the problem to determine the value of tangent of A. tangent of A is equal to the ratio of sine and cosine. Hence, tangent A = sine A/cos A = 3/5 / 4/5. Simplifying, tan A = 3/4.
