Answer:

tan B = 8/15

Explanation:

Trig functions are just ratios (like a fraction) in a right triangle, the longest side is the hypotenuse. The other two sides are the legs and they will be either right next to the angle, called ADJACENT side. Adjacent means "next to".

The opposite side is across the triangle from the angle in question.

TANGENT is the ratio that puts together the OPPOSITE side and the ADJACENT side.

tan B = OPP/ADJ

tan B = 8/15

If you're supposed to give a decimal approximation then divide 8รท15, tanB=.5333
