we are asked to determine the tangent of angle S. To do that let's remember the definition of the tangent function:


\tan s=(opposite)/(adjacent)

Replacing the values we get:


\tan s=\frac{3\sqrt[]{6}}{2\sqrt[]{11}}

rationalizing the expression, by multiplying numerator and denominator by the square root of 11:


\tan s=\frac{3\sqrt[]{6}*\sqrt[]{11}}{2\sqrt[]{11}*\sqrt[]{11}}

Solving the operations:


\tan s=\frac{3\sqrt[]{6(11)}}{2(11)}
\tan s=\frac{3\sqrt[]{66}}{22}
